Union Minister Anurag Thakur: Congress Losing Allies Due to ‘Hatred’ and Lack of Justice, Raises Questions on Alliance Stability

Union Minister Anurag Thakur says, "Congress couldn't do justice to its own allies. When only hatred could be seen in 'mohabbat ki dukan', their allies started leaving them one after the other. Even Leaders like Kapil Sibal, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Milind Deora and other senior leaders went away from Congress; they also joined the BJP. Their allies feel that if they stay with Congress, they would lose their vote bank - be it Mamata Banerjee, DMK. If Mamata Banerjee, in Bengal, refused to meet Rahul Gandhi and didn't give him time - is the alliance still in place? It raises questions."
