India does not need government that makes Hindus fight Muslims: Rahul

Seeking to enthuse workers who are putting up with the stiff challenge as the party is facing the polls alone; Gandhi said he was happy that Congress was fighting the elections by itself as there was no need for any compromise.  

“I am proud to see our workers all charged up and ready to fight elections and ready to fight under Congress banner.  Now we will not have to compromise,” he said.  

Congress' long-time ally DMK had walked out of the UPA coalition in March 2013, citing the emotive Sri Lankan Tamils issue even as the Dravidian major had spurned the national party's offers for a pre-poll alliance this year.  

Voicing confidence that his party will put up a good show in the April 24 Lok Sabha polls, Gandhi said Congress would not confine its fight to this LS polls alone but also fight and come to power in the state in the future.
