Virtually equating the Congress with the Muslim League, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the grand old party’s election manifesto reflects the same thought as that of the Muslim League at the time of the freedom movement.

Prime Minister Modi said the Congress, which existed at the time of the freedom movement, has “ended decades ago”.

“A number of great personalities were associated with the Congress. The name of Mahatma Gandhi was associated with the Congress. The Congress, which is left today, neither has policies in the interest of the nation nor vision for the nation’s development,” Prime Minister Modi said.
