'He knows I spoke deep truth': Rahul Gandhi hits back at PM Modi over 'Shakti' remarks

PM Modi vs Rahul Gandhi: Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's criticism of the 'Shakti' remarks Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made during the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra's concluding ceremony, Gandhi took to social media to respond. Taking to microblogging platform X, Gandhi gave his perspective on the prevailing power dynamics in India, challenging Modi's narrative.

Unveiling the True Power

In his tweet, Gandhi asserted that Modi dislikes his words as they reveal a profound truth. He accused Modi of distorting his statements to evade the underlying reality. Gandhi clarified that the power he referred to is the same force that Modi represents.

मोदी जी को मेरी बातें अच्छी नहीं लगतीं, किसी न किसी तरह उन्हें घुमाकर वह उनका अर्थ हमेशा बदलने की कोशिश करते हैं क्योंकि वह जानते हैं कि मैंने एक गहरी सच्चाई बोली है।

जिस शक्ति का मैंने उल्लेख किया, जिस शक्ति से हम लड़ रहे हैं, उस शक्ति का मुखौटा मोदी जी हैं।

वह एक ऐसी शक्ति…

Capturing India's Voice and Institutions

Gandhi highlighted the pervasive influence of this power, alleging its grip over India's institutions such as the CBI, IT department, ED, Election Commission, media, and industry. He lamented how this power manipulates the entire constitutional structure, stifling dissent and truth.

Disparities in Economic Policies

Drawing attention to economic inequalities, Gandhi contrasted the leniency shown towards wealthy individuals with the plight of Indian farmers burdened with debt. He criticised Modi for prioritising the interests of the affluent while neglecting the struggles of the common man.

Impact on Youth and Media

Gandhi pointed out how this power stifles the aspirations of Indian youth, leaving them disheartened. Additionally, he accused the media of complicity, alleging that it suppresses truth and perpetuates the agenda of those in power.

Critique of Government Policies

Gandhi criticised Modi's policies, including GST implementation without adequate measures to control inflation. He accused the government of prioritising the interests of the powerful elite over the welfare of the poor.

The Face of Unrighteousness

Gandhi identified this power as emblematic of unrighteousness, corruption, and falsehood. He affirmed his commitment to exposing and challenging this power, despite facing backlash and hostility from Modi and his supporters.
