Congress ke sath jo jo iss jahaz mein baetha tha vo NCP ki tarah ya toh khud bhi duub raha hai ya uth uth kar ke bas jaan bachane ke liye bhaag raha hai (Congress condition is similar to Titanic ship. It is sinking every day. The parties which supported the Congress are running to save themselves or sinking like NCP),” the Prime Minister said.
