Chicago – March 21, 2024
In a recent speech the popular leader Rahul Gandhi exposed the election system and BJP’s Narendra Modi. He called the entire election a scam. He commented that he knows the ins and outs of the whole system, nothing can be hidden from him. He said that when he wants to examine the voting machines, they refuse whereas, when he asks them that he wants the electoral ballots to be counted, they again refuse. The reason behind their refusal is clear. Their system isn’t transparent.
As BJP’s popularity has taken a nose dive after his Hindu Nationalist and Anti- Muslim policies, their entire campaign and victory depends on tampering with the election system.
Speaking about Modi, he said that he is just like an actor like all the Bollywood actors. He is playing a character on someone’s direction. He is dictating all his policies, all his actions and his speeches. He can’t do anything without that script.
The Congress leader said that people threaten his life and safety to make him quiet but he says that nothing can keep him silent. When it comes to his people , he will always speak out for them. Nothing can frighten him as long as he is alive, he will speak out for the Janta.
On Sunday evening, Gandhi and a bevy of leaders from other opposition parties launched the election campaign of their Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) from Shivaji Park, a day after the Election Commission of India announced dates for the world’s largest vote. Nearly a billion Indians will elect their next government in a seven-phase election that starts on April 19 and ends with the declaration of results on June 4.
The INDIA alliance hopes to challenge Modi’s BJP, which is aiming to win a third straight term in office, riding on the back of the prime minister’s personal popularity, even as the Congress and other critics have accused it of dividing the nation on religious lines and favouring select industrialists.
At the heart of the opposition alliance’s efforts are long marches undertaken by Gandhi across the length and breadth of the country, to galvanise support against Modi. His Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra (Uniting India for Justice March) had culminated in Mumbai on Saturday.
