Aligarh(UP): Union Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma on Saturday lashed out at Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi saying his dream of making India 'Congress-mukt' will not materialize, as even the British rulers failed to create Congress-free India.
Speaking to reporters here, Verma said, Babu Bokhiria, a senior minister in Gujarat's Modi government was still a minister despite being convicted by a court and sentenced to three years imprisonment.
"Modi must first unseat his minister before speaking about convicted MPs and MLAs", said Verma.
The minister praised party vice president Rahul Gandhi for "giving a new direction" to the Congress.
