“We reached out to Mayawati. We asked her to form an alliance. Become the Chief Minister. But she didn’t even talk about it,” Rahul Gandhi said during a book launch.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while talking about the abuse of central agencies by the government said that “She refused to fight for the voice of Dalits because of CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation), ED (Enforcement Directorate), Pegasus.”
In the event, he also talked about RSS and said “We must protect the Constitution. To save the Constitution we have to protect the institutions. Institutions are under RSS.”
