New Delhi: Congress has revealed its cards regarding Amethi and Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seats. This time Rahul Gandhi is contesting the elections not from Amethi but from Rae Bareli, the seat of mother Sonia Gandhi. As soon as this announcement was made, the attacks on the Congress leader from BJP intensified. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself raised this issue. During an election rally in West Bengal, he directly attacked Rahul. PM Modi said that these people go around telling everyone – don’t be afraid. Now I will also tell them the same – don’t be afraid, don’t run away. Without naming Rahul Gandhi, the Prime Minister said that seeing his defeat from Wayanad certain, he has found a third destination. However, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge hit back at this attack by PM Modi. He said, ‘He too himself ran away to Varanasi.’
What did PM Modi say about Rahul?
PM Modi was addressing an election rally in Bardhaman-Durgapur, Bengal on Friday. Meanwhile, without taking the name of Rahul Gandhi, he said that I had already told that ‘Prince’ is going to lose in Wayanad and due to fear of defeat, as soon as the voting ends, he will start looking for the third seat. PM Modi further said, ‘And now on the second seat too, all his followers were saying that Amethi will come, Amethi will come. But they were so scared of Amethi that after running away from there, they are now looking for a way in Rae Bareli.
This is why PM mentioned ‘don’t be afraid, don’t run’
Along with this, the Prime Minister also targeted former Congress President Sonia Gandhi. He said that I had claimed about her only three months ago that the biggest leader of Congress would not dare to contest elections this time. She will run away in fear. She ran away to Rajasthan and entered the Rajya Sabha. Meanwhile, PM Modi surrounded the opposition and said that these people go around telling everyone – don’t be afraid. Now I also tell them, hey don’t be afraid! Do not run. PM Modi claimed that there is no need for any opinion poll or exit poll to predict the outcome of this election because the results are ‘clear’. This time Congress is going to be reduced to fewer seats than before. She is contesting the Lok Sabha elections on fewer seats than before. Now the country is also understanding that these people are not contesting elections to win elections. They are just using the electoral arena to divide the country. However, the National President of Congress has also reacted to the Prime Minister’s comment.
Kharge’s counterattack on PM Modi’s attack
Leaving Amethi, Rahul Gandhi is contesting elections from Rae Bareli.
PM Modi has not made a direct attack on Rahul Gandhi just like that. Actually, the Congress leader had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from both Amethi in Uttar Pradesh and Wayanad in Kerala. He had won from Wayanad, but had to face defeat from BJP candidate Smriti Irani in Amethi. This time he did not open any cards for the other seat until the voting was over for Wayanad seat in Kerala. On Friday, when Congress clarified that Rahul Gandhi’s second seat this time will not be Amethi but Rae Bareli, BJP intensified its attacks.
Shoot Modi..Don’t be afraid, don’t run..Modi roared in Bengal, also took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi for contesting from Rae Bareli seat.
BJP surrounded Congress leader on this issue
BJP was already cornering Rahul Gandhi for not going to the consecration ceremony of Ram temple, giving reservation to Muslims on the basis of religion and the statement of Sam Pitroda, close to the Gandhi family, on ‘inheritance tax’. Now his nomination from Rae Bareli has also handed over many new issues to the ruling party at the Centre. It is being told that in the coming days, BJP leaders will be seen reminding Rahul Gandhi of his old statement and asking what are his views regarding the political understanding of Amethi, Rae Bareli and the states of North India? BJP will now repeatedly remind Rahul Gandhi of his statement which he had given during the Kerala Assembly elections that the political understanding of the people of South India is better than that of North India.
That’s why PM Modi made a direct attack on Rahul
However, on behalf of BJP, Yogi government minister Dinesh Pratap Singh is contesting elections against Rahul Gandhi in Rae Bareli. But, BJP will also try to make his decision of not contesting from Amethi a nationwide issue by linking it to the fear of the Gandhi family. By strongly raising the issue of fear of Gandhi family – Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, the party will try to break the morale of the candidates of Congress and its allies across the country and will also repeatedly give a political message to the public that BJP It is winning and after crossing 400, NDA coalition government is going to be formed in the country for the third consecutive time.
