“Elections in Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Telangana will be fought with gusto and our victory will set the tone for next year’s general elections,” he said.

The words become long because it does not suit the government.” He claimed, “At a time when parts of speeches in Parliament were omitted and some words including jumlas became unparliamentary, at such a time we slammed the government.” Took and forced him to come on the backfoot.

“As we look to next year, you will see many more steps and actions that we will take as a responsible and vibrant opposition to ensure that the voice of our people is not drowned out by the government’s false chest-beating.
