Congress wants Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Go compete. Why did Rahul finally decide to compete with Rae Bareli while Priyanka didn’t?
A very important reason why Priyanka ji decided not to contest with Amethi is that she is a superstar campaigner and as a The country’s Campaigners are crucial. If both (Rahul and Priyanka) contest elections, they will be stuck in their own constituencies. I must say that Rahul is also campaigning across the country and has plans in the coming days, but he also has to campaign in Rae Bareilly. Priyanka ji is our most powerful activist.she returns Modi and Shah in their own language. Her response to the Prime Minister’s crazy remarks about Rajiv Gandhi and the abolition of inheritance tax completely destroyed Modi. I think neither the Congress president nor Rahul will disagree with me when I say this.
Since you said she is a campaign star, wouldn’t it be better for her to run for office?
The party wants both Priyanka and Rahul to contest, but in reality it is clear to me and to many in the party that since Prime Minister Modi has stepped up his campaign efforts and taken a completely different approach, attacking their families …Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, she (Priyanka) was able to blunt the attacks of the BJP. She is campaigning across the country. By character, Rahul talks about issues including inequality, constitutional law and other policy issues. She (Priyanka) is tailor-made for politics, she is a natural in every aspect – her connect with people, her campaigning style, her personality… so it was only a matter of time before she entered electoral politics. She is very passionate about politics, let us not get any wrong impression.
Do you think delaying the announcement of the candidates until the last day of nominations would send a message of reluctance or indecisiveness on the part of Rahul and Priyanka?
No, there is no delay.If you check past details election, you will find that they (Gandhi) filed their nominations on the penultimate or last day. As the announcements were made on the last day, no negative message was conveyed to the people, these were the headlines planned by the BJP.
The Congress has been under attack from the BJP on issues such as wealth redistribution, inheritance tax, religion-based quotas and Muslim appeasement. What do you have to say?
After the first phase of polls on April 19, the Prime Minister significantly changed his rhetoric as the political trend became very clear that the BJP would be wiped out not only in the south but even in its traditional bastions, where the BJP These regions performed very well in 2019, almost destroying the Congress in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. All of a sudden, the Prime Minister’s rhetoric changed and comments about wealth redistribution, inheritance tax, reservations, mangalsutra started appearing. He started talking explicitly about Muslims. So far they have used minority appeasement, but this is an unqualified positive charge. I blame it on the nervousness of the BJP.
The BJP has been citing film clips of Rahul’s remarks. What are your thoughts on this?
Prime Minister Modi sees a line everywhere and they (BJP) twist every line. It is clear that he (Modi) is turning this into a war between Hindus and Muslims. This shows that the Prime Minister wants the game to be played on his own court, which is a public one.
We are now moving towards phase three. What’s the outlook for Congress?
I dare say that the Indian group will have a clear and convincing majority. I say this based on our performance, we will make progress in Assam, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Telangana.
