Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav over their alliance for the Lok Sabha polls. He likened their partnership to a failed movie sequel, referencing their unsuccessful collaboration in the 2017 state assembly elections. Addressing a rally, Modi criticized the opposition’s intentions, suggesting they aim not to win but to limit the BJP’s seats below 370 and the NDA’s below 400.
Challenges Faced by Congress and SP
Modi highlighted the struggles of the Congress party in finding candidates even in their strongholds, with instances where nominees failed to file nominations. He depicted the Samajwadi Party’s situation as dire, necessitating frequent candidate changes. He likened their alliance to a re-release of a previously unsuccessful film, alluding to their joint roadshow in Agra earlier in the year, reminiscent of their “UP ke ladke” campaign from 2017.
