Pune, 29th Dec. During a visit to the Congress office in Pune for the party’s foundation day celebrations on Wednesday, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar said, “Congress mukt Bharat is not possible,” because no one can ignore the party’s ideology and contribution.
“This place has witnessed several historical moments. Almost all veterans of congress Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi have visited this place. Earlier, the Pune Congress office was the head office of the state,” Pawar said while addressing Congress workers at the premises of Congress Bhawan.
He went on to say that the Congress’s contribution and history cannot be overlooked.
“Some people say that we will make Congress mukt Bharat (congress free India) but it is not possible to make Bharat Congress mukt. In fact, if we want to take India forward we have to take congress forward, one cannot ignore the ideology of the Congress. We cannot forget the contribution and history of congress,” he said.
According to the NCP chief, all like-minded parties in Maharashtra and at the national level have decided to join forces.
“I am sure we will get your support to face and defeat the ideology which says Congress Mukt Bharat,” he added.
Pawar began his political career as a Congress worker from the Pune district before defecting to form his own party in 1999. Later, however, he formed an alliance with the Congress.
