Gandhi in his Facebook post wrote, “Across India, there are powerful forces afoot. Forces that are fanned by the anger and disappointment of hundreds of millions of Indians who have seen through the false promises and lies peddled by the Modi Government. These forces are moved by the hope of a new tomorrow; a tomorrow filled with the idea of an India in which the voice of every man, woman and child will be heard and respected no matter what their religion, economic status or region.

The entire opposition is united in our belief that true nationalism and development can only be defended on the tested pillars of democracy, social justice and secularism, ideas that the BJP and Mr Modi are intent on destroying.

We commend the great people of Bengal who have historically been at the forefront of defending our ideals.

I extend my support to Mamata Di on this show of unity and hope that we send a powerful message of a united India together.

JAI HIND!”
