Mumbai: Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Salman Khurshid on Tuesday said that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi can prove that the Congress manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections was inspired by the Muslim League, then he should get the Nobel Prize.

The manifesto, he said, is “visionary” and talks about employment generation.

"The Prime Minister says that our manifesto is of the Muslim League. How is our manifesto inspired by the Muslim League? The Prime Minister should get the Nobel Prize if he proves that whatever I have written in the Congress manifesto is not in the public interest and that "Relating to ideology is what we don't do." Accept,” Khurshid told reporters here.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi parties (Congress, NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT)) should be congratulated for coming together despite their ideological differences, the senior leader said, adding that the results of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections will be historic and Maharashtra Will decide the outline of the next government at the Centre.

Khurshid alleged that the BJP was breaking parties using "fear and money" and that it still could not eliminate them.

He claimed that the Modi government took many big projects originally meant for Maharashtra to Gujarat.
