What Harsh Mahajan said on leaving Congress?
Talking to the media, Harsh Mahajan said, “Congress has become hollow now. Today the Congress has become directionless, as long as Virbhadra Singh ji was there in Himachal, then something was fine but now nothing is left. There is a vision and all the lies are there in the manifesto that they make.”
Alleging ticket sales in Himachal, he said, “A section is auctioning tickets in the open. We have never seen this in Congress.”
