PM Modi Slams Congress in Belagavi Rally, Accuses Rahul Gandhi of Historical Oversight

Addressing a rally in Karnataka’s Belagavi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, alleging that Gandhi had denounced “kings of India” for their atrocities but remained silent on the actions of “nawabs, nizams, sultans, and badshahs.” Modi further claimed that Gandhi and the Congress had failed to condemn Mughal emperor Aurangzeb for his destruction of Hindu temples.

Modi accused Gandhi, whom he referred to as the “Shehzada of Congress,” of insulting revered figures like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Rani Chinamma while omitting acknowledgment of the contributions made by historical Indian rulers like the Mysuru Royal family. He contended that Gandhi’s comments were aimed at appeasing the Congress’s voter base.

Responding to a recent rally where Gandhi reportedly criticized past rulers for land appropriation, Modi accused him of overlooking the actions of historical Muslim rulers and emphasized the Congress’s alleged alliances with parties that praised Aurangzeb.

The Prime Minister highlighted the positive roles played by certain Indian rulers, such as the Raja of Banaras in establishing the Banaras Hindu University and the Maharaja of Baroda in recognizing B.R. Ambedkar’s talent.

Modi also criticized the Congress-led government in Karnataka, alleging a deterioration in the state’s law and order situation since its formation. He accused the Congress of undermining India’s achievements and claimed victory in the Supreme Court’s VVPAT-EVM judgment, asserting that the Congress had falsely accused EVM tampering and demanding an apology from the party for undermining democracy.

In response to Gandhi’s remarks about past rulers, BJP leader Amit Malviya condemned them as insulting to the Rajput community and called for Gandhi to apologize.
