When people of India stand together, then even Hitler can't win: Sharad Yadav

Sharad Yadav on Thursday called a convention to mobilise people to safeguard the ‘composite culture’ of India.

In his speech where he indirectly compared the Centre’s rule to that of German dictator Adolf Hitler, Yadav said that at the end of the day, the government would have to bow down to the people of India. “Hindustan aur vishwa ki janta jab khaddi hoti hai toh koi Hitler bhi usse jeet nahi sakta. (When people of India and world stand together, then even Hitler cannot win),” said Yadav at ‘Sanjhi Virasat Bachao’ in Delhi.

The meeting, ‘Sanjhi Virasat Bachao’ (save country’s composite culture), was attended by former prime minister Manmohan Singh and other senior Congress members as well as Left party leaders, including CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and CPI national secretary D Raja. Earlier, addressing the meeting Rahul Gandhi took a dig at the government’s flagship programme ‘Make in India’, saying most products available in the country were made in China.

The programme is being seen as Yadav’s show of strength against Nitish Kumar’s decision to ally with the BJP. Yadav said the “composite culture” was the soul of the Constitution, which, in his view, was being “tinkered with”.
