Jalna: Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Harshwardhan Sapkal strongly hit back at Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who recently claimed that the Opposition in Maharashtra would be “so reduced that it would not be visible even through binoculars.”

On October 26, Shah made the remarks while laying the foundation stone for the BJP’s new state headquarters near Churchgate station in Mumbai, calling it a “temple of ideology”. Responding sharply, Sapkal accused the BJP of constructing its new office through corrupt practices.

Sapkal was speaking at a Congress workers’ meeting at Kalyanrao Ghugre Stadium on Wednesday, where NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) city president Abdul Rashid Pahilwan and his supporters formally joined the Congress. Read Also Pune University Flyover Upda
