Shillong, April 12 (IANS): Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma has said the Congress should take on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to protect the nation.
Noting that only the Congress can take on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, Sangma told reporters here on Tuesday: "What is important is to protect the interests of the people and the nation as a whole. I am afraid if Congress does not take on BJP more aggressively, there will be no other political party that can stop it."
"If Congress becomes weak, the BJP will become strong," he added.
"All those trial balloons indulged by fringe elements, including the RSS, are dangerous indications. It is time for people to be blunt and frank and express their concern," he said.
At the same time, the veteran Congress leader said that the party is firm and ready to defend the future of India.
