BJP to hold march in Nagpur on November 5, led by Fadnavis and Gadkari, says Parinay Fuke

After the Congress held a march in Delhi, the BJP is now preparing to take to the streets in Nagpur. BJP leader Parinay Fuke said the party will hold a march on November 5 in Nagpur, the city that houses the RSS headquarters.

According to Fuke, the march will be led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. He said all patriots would take part. The BJP will raise the slogan "Save democracy, remove anarchy" at the march.

Fuke alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was taking foreign funds and trying to create distrust in the country's Constitution. This is Fuke's allegation.

Asked about Rahul Gandhi's remarks on the RSS, Fuke said Gandhi himself was a "red flag" (a danger) for the country. He said Gandhi was trying to end the Constitution and bring in communist ideology. Fuke also said there was "Rahu" in Gandhi's name, and so he was working to bring Rahu to the country.

Fuke also spoke about poverty. He said a recent report showed a 50 per cent fall in poverty, and that this was a fitting reply to leaders such as Rahul Gandhi. According to him, this had been possible because of large-scale development and foreign investment over the past 12 years.

On the defeat in the Legislative Council elections, Fuke said senior party leaders would meet in the next two to three days to reflect on it.

Targeting Ravindra Dhangekar, Fuke said "a new convert prays the loudest". According to Fuke, Dhangekar, who joined the Shiv Sena only a day or two ago, is trying to get a Legislative Council seat. He said Dhangekar was earlier in the Congress, and that the Congress had now given him a "contract" to create discord within the Mahayuti.

Political observers believe this political development in Nagpur could heighten the temperature of state politics in the coming days, as both major parties try to win over the public through their respective strategies.
