‘Congress Must Die Not a Knee-Jerk Remark’: Yogendra Yadav

Yadav also referred to Congress as the “single biggest obstacle to the creation of an alternative.”

A day after Swaraj India chief Yogendra Yadav triggered a political row when he hit out strongly at the Congress, saying the party ‘must die’, he clarified on Monday, 20 May, that his remark was not an “off-the-cuff angry remark.”

With the exit polls on Sunday, 19 May, predicting a comfortable majority for Narendra Modi-led NDA government, Yadav said that the Congress represented the “biggest obstacle” to the creation of an alternative.

This tweet has triggered a debate.Many friends are upset.

Just to avoid misreading: this is not an off the cuff angry remark, no khundak against its leaders, not knee-jerk anti-Congressism.
I think Cong is now redundant for(is actually an obstacle to) defending the idea of India https://t.co/4xJh3gwopj
