Sonia Gandhi in Jaipur: PM Modi Accused of ‘destroying country’, Claims Opposition Leaders Forced Into Joining BJP

Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of detrimental impacts on the nation and democracy. She alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is coercing opposition leaders to join them ahead of the Lok Sabha election. Speaking at a rally in Jaipur, Gandhi emphasized the peril facing the country’s democracy, citing the erosion of democratic institutions and a conspiracy to alter the Constitution. She lamented the government’s track record over the past decade, citing unemployment, inflation, inequality, and atrocities as prominent issues. Gandhi condemned Modi’s leadership, accusing him of diminishing the nation’s dignity and democracy.

Joined by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and other party leaders, Sonia Gandhi launched the party’s poll manifesto ‘Nyay Patra’ publicly in Jaipur. Priyanka Gandhi echoed concerns about the assault on the opposition during BJP rule, referencing the arrests of Delhi Chief Minister and former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren.

The Congress manifesto, released on Friday, highlighted ‘Paanch Nyay’ (five pillars of justice): ‘Yuva Nyay’, ‘Naari Nyay’, ‘Kisaan Nyay’, ‘Shramik Nyay’, and ‘Hissedari Nyay’. Promises included a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP), a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, reform of personal laws, a nationwide caste census, and a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 percent cap on reservations for SC, ST, and OBC communities, among others.

In response, PM Modi criticized the Congress manifesto during a public meeting in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, labeling it as an “imprint of the Muslim League.” He asserted that the manifesto reflects the Congress’ detachment from the contemporary aspirations of India, likening its ideology to that of the Muslim League during the freedom movement.
