WASHINGTON, Jun 2: Rahul said that the BJP will be “decimated” in the next 3-4 assembly elections by the Congress, emphasising that they have the basic requirements that are needed to defeat the ruling party which do not have the support of the vast majority of the Indian population. Gandhi, who is on a three-city visit of the US, made these comments on Thursday during a reception that famous Indian American Frank Islam held for him.
“”People tend to believe that the BJP and RSS are an unstoppable juggernaut. That is not the situation. Here, I’ll venture a small forecast. In response to a query at the reception, Gandhi stated, “You will see that the next three or four elections that we fight directly with the BJP will be decimated.”These assembly elections are going to be very difficult for them to win, I already know that. They will be handled quite similarly to how Karnataka was handled. However, if you ask the Indian media, it won’t happen, he claimed.
The BJP was deposed from office in Karnataka on May 10 after the Congress won a clear majority.
The invited group of MPs, think tankers, and Indian Americans were informed by the visiting leader that the BJP is now receiving extremely good coverage in the Indian press.”Please understand that 60% of Indian voters do not support the BJP or Narendra Modi. That is something you need to remember. The BJP has the means to create noise at their disposal, and they are considerably more adept at doing so. They can shout, scream, distort, and holler. However, they are not supported by the vast majority of Indians, he continued.
Gandhi responded to a different query by stating his conviction that the Congress will be able to defeat the BJP.In order to prepare for the vital general elections in 2024, five states — Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Mizoram — will hold assembly elections later this year.
“Rebuilding the democratic system won’t be simple. It’s going to be challenging. It will take some time. However, we are adamant that we possess the fundamental elements required to defeat the BJP, said the 52-year-old former president of the Congress party.”The media will tell you that Modi cannot be defeated. Much of it is inflated. Actually, Modi is extremely weak. These factors pinch people in India very rapidly and very severely, he said, citing the country’s high unemployment rate and sharp price increases.
“However, I find it quite fascinating to see how this process unfolds. I had no notion how this poses a threat to democracy. This is how a democracy is attacked. In response to a query regarding his disqualification from being an MP, he stated, “It has been extremely good for me.The Wayanad (Kerala) Member of Parliament was expelled from the Lok Sabha earlier this year after being found guilty of criminal defamation in a 2019 case involving his use of the “Modi surname” statement by a Surat court.
These are advantageous for me since they instruct me and make clear what I should do and how I should do it. I appreciate your love, support, and care for one another. It means a lot to me, especially after being in the US and realising just how many people are prepared to stand up for Indian democracy and protection.
