Kalaburagi: Opposition leader at Rajya Sabha, Malikarjun Kharge, was given a big response when he returned Kalaburagi after two and a half years on Saturday.
Kharge did not appear in Kalaburagi after his defeat in the selection of Lok Sabha in 2019.
He was elected to Rajya Sabha after he was chosen as opposition leader.
Thousands of Congress workers took him in a procession of 15 km from Kalaburagi airport to the city.
He first visited Sharanabasaaveshwara Temple and Khwaja Bande Nawaz Dargah, after which he discussed a public rally in Jai Bhavani Hall near Rajapur.
“I was defeated not by Kalaburagi people, but with the error of Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and RSS,” he said, adding that he believed in only ethical politics based on morality.
“BJP will not tolerate if Dalit and the poor are still united.
How many Dalits and people from the backward class are given power by Modi and Yogi?” He asked.
But Congress, ensuring social justice, has given strength to the leaders of all communities, he claims.
HOMECOMING: Kharge gives ROUSING reception
