Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused the BJP of adopting a double standard on the issue of nepotism. Rahul Gandhi described the Modi cabinet as a government family and said that Modi has shared the legacy of power.
Rahul alleged that the PM Modi-led government had dismissed the sacrifices of Congress leaders on several points by calling them nepotism, but the way the accounts were shared on Monday was to share the legacy of power with the ruling family. Rahul tweeted on X that those who call the generational tradition of struggle, service and sacrifice as nepotism are sharing the legacy of power among the ruling family.
Rahul Gandhi named 20 leaders who became ministers in the NDA government whose elders have been in politics for years. Kumaraswamy, Ravneet Bittu, Piyush Goyal, Scindia, Chirag Paswan, Dharmendra Pradhan, J.P. Nadda, Jitin Prasad, Anupriya Patel etc.
If Priyanka had trusted me and contested from Varanasi, she would have won.
After the Lok Sabha results, Rahul Gandhi claimed that if Priyanka Gandhi had contested from Varanasi, she would have definitely defeated PM Modi and won the seat by a huge margin. Rahul was addressing Congress workers in Rae Bareli after his victory. This time BJP got only 33 seats out of 80 in UP.
