Bhubaneswar, August 25: Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Saturday criticised the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi for party’s alliance with the National Conference in the upcoming Jammu and Kashmir Assembly polls.
In a video message posted on social media platform X, Majhi said, "Rahul Gandhi should clarify his party's stance on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. Congress party is blind for power."
