Ahead of the next year’s Lok Sabha elections and state assembly polls, Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Nana Patole Monday said that the Congress party has taken an initiative to save the democracy and the Constitution by attempting to forge an alliance with like-minded parties.

While lashing out at the Bharatiya Janata Party for “trampling the democracy and the Constitution”, Patole said that the Congress party will take along all the concurring parties to fight the Lok Sabha polls and defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party.
