Opposition took help of 'urban Naxals' to win polls: Fadnavis
Hindustan Times East UP|December 21, 2024
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has accused the opposition, especially the Congress, of receiving support from frontal organisations linked to "urban naxals" to win elections.

NAGPUR:

Fadnavis alleged that more than 40 such organisations played a part in the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in 2022-23. Gandhi's country-wide march was aimed at uniting the country against the divisive politics of the BJP.

He also alleged that the opposition had used terror funding of ₹100 crore during the Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra.

While offering no proof to support his allegations, Fadnavis made these claims while replying to the debate on the congratulatory motion for the governor's joint address to both houses of the state legislature, during the winter session on Thursday. He also claimed there were a few countries interested in destabilising India and the opposition should not support them merely for their own political gain.
