Maharashtra Congress President Harshwardhan Sapkal has accused the BJP of targeting its Mahayuti allies by recruiting former Congress leaders from crucial constituencies held by Shiv Sena and NCP MLAs.

In an interview with PTI, Sapkal asserted that these leaders defected due to fear and greed, but the Congress remains resolute in upholding its ideology.
