Had Indira Gandhi been alive, BJP would have been nowhere: Congress leader Nana Patole
Mumbai, Nov 14: Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Thursday said had former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi been alive today, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would have nowhere politically.
Speaking to PTI Videos, Patole criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his comments at a poll rally in Maharashtra on Wednesday that Article 370, which accorded special status to Jammu and Kashmir, won’t be restored even if Indira Gandhi, who died in 1984, comes down from heaven.
Article 370 of the Constitution was scrapped by the BJP-led central government in August 2019.
The Maharashtra Congress president sought to know what has been achieved by nullifying the contentious constitutional provision.
''Shah should stop making such remarks. What have you achieved from abrogation of Article 370? You were able to conduct assembly elections (in J&K) after 10 years. Terrorism hasn't stopped and soldiers continue to be martyred every day. Instead Shah should tell people whether the BJP has fulfilled promises made in 2014 and 2019 polls," Patole said.
He remarked that had Indira Gandhi, a Congress stalwart who served as PM for more than 15 years, been alive today, the BJP would have been nowhere.
The BJP is scared of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, a trenchant critic of the saffron party, and sees him even in their dreams, Patole said in reply to a question.

YouTuber and his girlfriend rescued from drowning by IPS officer in Goa
Mumbai, Dec 26: Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia has said he and his girlfriend were swept away by an underwater current on Christmas evening in Goa but were rescued by another couple.
Allahbadia, who goes by the name of BeerBiceps on social media, shared his story on Instagram on Wednesday evening.
He thanked an IPS officer and his IRS wife for saving their lives.
"We're perfectly fine & well now. But yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation. We both love swimming in the open ocean. I've been doing this since I was a kid. But yesterday we got swept away by an underwater current," the YouTuber said.
"This has happened to me before but I've never been alongside a companion. It's easy to swim out of one alone. It's very hard to pull someone out with you. After a 5-10 minute struggle, we called for help and were promptly rescued by a family of five swimming nearby," he added.
Allahbadia said the experience has left both of them feeling "blank as well as grateful". "We felt the protection of God throughout the incident,” he added.
