Reportedly congress chief mallikarjun Kharge had criticised the “Ek Hai to Safe Hai" and “Batenge to Katenge" slogans, claiming threat to india from the RSS, bjp, PM narendra Modi, and home minister amit Shah. When addressing a ‘Save Constitution’ conference in Mumbai, Kharge targeted the prime minister, alleging discussions and debate are not allowed in Parliament. Kharge said “The prime minister says ‘Ek Hai to Safe Hai’ while other leaders (of BJP) talk about ‘Batenge to Katenge’ (divided we fall). Who is threatened? Is there any problem? In fact, the country faces threat from RSS, bjp, Modi, and (Union home minister Amit) Shah".
When launching BJP’s campaign for the november 20 maharashtra assembly polls, Modi had mentioned ’Ek Hai to Safe Hai’ while accusing the congress of trying to divide OBCs, SCs and STs. Continuing his tirade against Modi, Kharge wondered whether he could be termed as a democratic prime minister. According to Kharge, political decorum is not maintained under Modi’s leadership, unlike the days of Jawaharlal Nehru, indira gandhi, and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Moreover Kharge said "Vajpayee, Nehru, and indira gandhi mutually respected each other despite their political differences. But Modi constantly attacks us and we had to respond". Kharge accused the bjp of distorting issues and dividing people. He said "BJP and RSS have already divided people. We work to unite people”. He alleged that whenever bjp realises that it cannot win elections and form a government, it uses ED, cbi and other Central agencies against its political adversaries.
