New Delhi: Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan’s crushing comeback on the Congress party’s dreams of a grand alliance to defeat the BJP. “Ek kahawat hai ki sau langde mil kar bhi ek pehlwan nahi ban sakta. There is a saying that even a 100 lame together cannot defeat a mighty person.”
The Congress has reacted to both it’s decimation and the BJP’s tunning victories in the five-state assembly polls saying an alliance of like-minded parties can defeat the BJP.
This morning, AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh gave an inkling of the way ahead of the once grand old party of India. “Narendra Modi is not god, he can be stopped. For that political will is needed among parties who are against communal forces,” Singh said.
