One a two-day visit to Mumbai, Congress vice-president on Friday choose the auspicious occasion of maker-sankranti to sound the poll bugle for India’s commercial capital, one of the biggest civic bodies of the world, but warned that he will not be tolerating indiscipline among leaders.
“Congress is the DNA of Maharashtra,” the Nehru-Gandhi family scion said addressing a meeting of party workers after dedicating the Murlibhai Deora Sabhagraha, a hall in memory of the Congress loyalist, at the Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, the office of the Mumbai Regional Congress Committee (MRCC) here at Azad Maidan.
“Murlibhai is no more…he has left us a year ago, today, we have inaugurated a hall in his memory, but the real tribute to him would be to have a Congress Mayor after the next civic elections…Murlibhai started as a corporator, he became a Mayor…. we must have our next Mayor,” Rahul said, recalling Deora’s conduct as a leader.
