Rahul Gandhi Interview: After the Lok Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led NDA government has been formed. But, in this election, BJP has got 63 seats less than last time and the party has won only 240 seats. This is the reason why the opposition is continuously attacking even after the formation of Modi Government. Now once again Rahul Gandhi has targeted and claimed that the Modi government will have to ‘struggle’ to save its existence.
NDA people in touch with us: Rahul Gandhi
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has also claimed in an interview without naming anyone that people of Narendra Modi camp are in ‘touch’ with India Block (I.N.D.I.A). Even a small disturbance can destabilize the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which has formed the government under the leadership of BJP. Along with this, Rahul Gandhi also claimed that there is ‘huge dissatisfaction’ among the regional parties included in the NDA. Because of this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government will have to ‘struggle’ to survive.
A small disturbance can topple the government: Rahul
In an interview to the Financial Times, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘The numbers in the Modi government are such that it is in a very delicate situation and a small disturbance can topple the government. For this, only one ally has to turn to the other side.’ However, Rahul Gandhi refused to elaborate further on his claims.
Modi’s image has been destroyed: Rahul Gandhi
Showing the lead of India Block in the Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘BJP’s infrastructure and their ideology of spreading religious animosity has collapsed. There has been a big change in Indian politics. This is the reason why the ruling coalition will struggle this time, because what worked for Narendra Modi in 2014 and 2019 is not working this time.’ He further said, ‘Narendra Modi’s idea and Modi’s image have been destroyed.’
This time BJP did not get majority
Let us tell you that in the results of the Lok Sabha elections declared on June 4, NDA won 293 Lok Sabha seats and won the third consecutive term at the Center. But, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lost its majority and could win only 240 seats, due to which it had to depend on smaller parties to remain in power. The India Alliance (I.N.D.I.A Alliance), formed to remove BJP from power, surprised everyone by winning 234 seats. In this, Congress alone won 99 seats and this result put Rahul Gandhi at the forefront of opposition politics.
BJP was wiped out in Ayodhya itself: Rahul Gandhi
Talking about the politics of hatred, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘The idea that you can spread hatred, you can spread anger and you can take advantage of it – the Indian people have rejected it in this election. BJP’s idea of creating religious hatred has collapsed.’ He further said, ‘The party which spent the last 10 years talking about Ayodhya has been wiped out in Ayodhya.’
Rahul Gandhi will remain MP from Rae Bareli seat
Let us tell you that in the meantime Rahul Gandhi has decided to leave the Wayanad seat and retain the Rae Bareli seat. Now his sister Priyanka Gandhi will contest from the Wayanad seat. Let us tell you that Rahul Gandhi had won both the seats in the Lok Sabha elections, but according to the Indian Constitution, a person is allowed to represent only one seat in Parliament. If Priyanka Gandhi wins from Wayanad, then three members of the Nehru-Gandhi family will be in Parliament. Sonia Gandhi is an MP in the Rajya Sabha, while Rahul Gandhi is an MP in the Lok Sabha. However, after this, the BJP may once again get another chance to attack ‘dynasty’.
