COUNTERING Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath's 'batenge toh katenge' slogan, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Saturday that several leaders from his party, including Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, have laid down their lives to unite the country.
Addressing a press conference in Nagpur, Kharge asked the BJP to decide between Yogi's slogan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unity message of 'Ek hain, toh safe hain'. He also hit back at the BJP for criticising his party leader Rahul Gandhi over a copy of the Constitution with a red cover. He showed a picture of PM Modi gifting a similar copy to former President Ramnath Kovind.
