Everybody knows who wins when someone stands against India: Rahul Gandhi

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said everybody knows who the winner is when someone stands against India and nobody has been able to fight the idea of India. Addressing the media here after deliberations between opposition leaders for the second day, Gandhi said the 2024 Lok Sabha polls are going to be a fight between «INDIA» and Narendra Modi. The opposition has named its alliance as INDIA — the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance — as announced at the press conference after the meeting of the parties.

«All of you know who wins when anyone stands against India… There is no need to spell it out,» Gandhi said. The former Congress chief also said it is known to everyone what happens to those who oppose or attempt to fight the idea of India. «You can look in our history and you will see that nobody has been able to fight the idea of India.

So I do not need to go into who is going to win this fight. This is a fight between the idea of India and the idea of the BJP… This is a fight between INDIA and the BJP… It is a fight between INDIA and Mr Narendra Modi,» he said. Gandhi also said Tuesday's opposition meeting, the second in a series, was very successful and things moved «very smoothly» during the deliberations that lasted for more than four hours.

He said the idea of India is being attacked today by the ideology of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The wealth of the country is being snatched from the millions and millions of countrymen and handed over to a few businessmen «who are close to the prime minister and the BJP», the Congress leader alleged. Noting that unemployment is spreading and prices are rising, he said this is what the fight is all about.
