Rahul Gandhi has been instantly attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on each factor that the PM has been pitching for.
With Lok Sabha Election 2024 underway, there may be one factor the Congress has steered away from – to make nationwide elections about Narendra Modi versus Rahul Gandhi. The Congress is aware of that this can be a combat which has no kick from the beginning for the social gathering.
In 2014, for instance, when the Congress made its marketing campaign all about Rahul Gandhi’s pet venture, ‘Chowkidar chor hai’, the BJP fought again. The BJP used the hashtag ‘chowkidar’ to make the purpose that being a chowkidar was not derogatory, it was a good career and that the PM was guarding the nation. Simply when it appeared that the election was turning into all about Modi vs Rahul Gandhi and the 2 had been being seen as contenders for the highest job, in repeated interviews and interactions, each Gandhi and Congress made it clear that he was not preventing for the highest job. This was exhausting to imagine, as a result of Gandhi was additionally Congress President at the moment.
BJP’S STAR CAMPAIGNER?
The BJP has been saying that every time Rahul Gandhi has “opened his mouth”, he has ensured not less than 100 additional votes for the social gathering. However there is no such thing as a denying the truth that immediately, if any political chief is seen as an unmixed opponent of the Modi authorities, with no ifs and buts, it’s Rahul Gandhi. Whereas a few of his plans and methods could have ended up serving to the BJP, he has been steadfast in – “I’ll chase what I imagine in.” This has usually landed his social gathering in a repair. As an example, not many had been satisfied that ‘chowkidar chor hai’ was a very good line.
This election, not many are completely happy both with the discuss of reservation (definitely not the Brahmin Congress leaders who’re preventing for relevance), or with the inheritance tax narrative.
The query then is as to why is that this election turning into Modi vs Rahul although the Congress dreads this.
MODI VERSUS RAHUL – GOOD OR BAD FOR THE CONGRESS?
It’s grow to be this for exactly the place taken by Rahul Gandhi. He has been instantly attacking Modi on each factor the PM is pitching for. When the Prime Minister talks about ‘sabka saath, sabka vikaas’, Rahul says that it’s not doable with out reservation. When PM Modi says India is recognised globally for its entrepreneurship, Rahul says the wealthy are getting richer and wealth distribution should be studied.
Even supposing Rahul Gandhi is not the social gathering president, the animations and the promos of the Congress are all about him. It’s Gandhi, who’s the “tiger” taking over the PM. The Congress has been rigorously mapping his rallies. It has been observed that he’s often going to these areas the place the PM goes. At every rally, Rahul Gandhi has been heard quoting the Prime Minister after which taking him on.
To the voters, it has begun to appear to be Rahul vs Modi. Additionally, most INDIA entrance allies are both quiet on this or increase no objection, thereby reinforcing the narrative.
The Congress appears to be taking this danger because it believes it’s effectively value it. The Congress appears to suppose there’s a fatigue with the Prime Minister and the BJP. Rahul Gandhi has now thrown an open problem to PM Modi asking if the BJP may even cross 150 seats in Common Elections.
Whether or not the voters are satisfied on this problem or not will not be a fear as Rahul Gandhi and his crew are and in non-public, don’t have any qualms concerning the contest turning into Rahul vs Modi.
This narrative fits the BJP, which is why it wastes no time in choosing on Gandhi
Although nobody from the Congress will overtly say it’s Modi vs Rahul, their actions say so much.
