Guwahati, July 17 -- Launching a scathing attack on Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and MP Rahul Gandhi's visit to Assam, BJP leader and Union Minister of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita said that they expected nothing from a party like Congress.

Margherita said that if Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge have come to visit Maa Kamakhya, Maa Bagala, or the Satras and Namghars, or to enjoy the scenic Kaziranga or Manas National Park, they are welcomed warmly, but if they have come to preach peace, development, or progress in Assam, they would not be listened.

He further recalled how Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had insulted smaller states after the party's humiliating defeat in Tripura and Nagaland elections....
