'Congress' missile will not take off as it does not have fuel': BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra ahead of I.N.D.I.A meet

Taking potshots at the Opposition bloc I.N.D.I.A, BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said that the members of the ‘Ghamandia Gathbandhan’ were involved in scams and “corruption worth Rs 20 lakh crores.”

Talking about the upcoming meeting of I.N.D.I.A in Mumbai, Patra said, “The meeting of ‘Ghamandia Gathbandhan’ is going to take place in Mumbai today. Such a meeting of the Opposition is not new to us. Before 2014 the alliance only had a few parties and by 2019 the same members joined again. The only that was different was the bloc’s name.”
