Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched the 'Donate for Desh' crowdfunding campaign for the party. Speaking after the campaign launch, Kharge said that if you work only by depending on the rich, then you have to follow their policies.
Citing an example of Mahatma Gandhi, Kharge stated that he also took donations from the public during the freedom struggle.
"It's the first time that Congress is asking people for donations for the nation... If you work only by depending on the rich people, then you have to follow their policies. Mahatma Gandhi also took donations from the public during the freedom struggle," Kharge said, as quoted by news agency ANI.
Speaking on the ‘Donate For Desh’ campaign, Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely said, “This is a very nice initiative by AICC. Even Congress President Mallikarjun Khadge believes it is better to ask for contributions from the common people rather than businessmen. So we expect all our party workers and senior leaders to contribute. One thing I’m particularly excited about is, when we will go door to door to meet our voters after 28th December, it will prove to be a win-win situation,” as quoted by ANI.
