New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a rally in Maharashtras Amravati, hinting at alleged memory lapses in Modis speeches. Drawing a parallel with US President Joe Biden, who is often criticized for his verbal missteps, Gandhi recalled an incident where Biden mistakenly introduced Ukraines President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Speaking at the rally, Gandhi said, “My sister told me she heard Modi Jis speech, and in that speech, whatever we say, Modi Ji is repeating the same. I dont know, maybe he has lost his memory. Similarly, Biden had to be reminded of names, and Modi Ji appears to be facing the same issue.” Biden & team sided with Rahul Gandhi in LS Elections but they themselves lost to TrumpNow Rahul openly mocked Joe Biden while attacking PM Modi on some imaginary memory loss.Wonder what Biden and his administration think about this remark pic.twitter.com/p0KdmoxgiB— Megh Updates 🚨™ (@MeghUpdates) November 16, 2024Accusations of Reversing BlameRahul Gandhi also alleged that the Prime Minister was echoing the Congresss long-standing stance on constitutional matters. “For the past year, Ive been highlighting BJPs attack on the Constitution. Now, Modi Ji is saying that Congress is attacking it. He seems to be reversing the narrative as people are noticing BJPs actions,” Gandhi stated. He further added, “I said in Lok Sabha that Congress and the INDIA bloc will abolish the 50% reservation cap. Yet, Modi Ji is now accusing me of being against reservation.” Continuing his campaign for a caste-based census, Gandhi reiterated his demand, urging the Modi government to conduct the nationwide exercise. “The country needs to know how many Dalits, Adivasis, and OBCs are there. But soon, Modi Ji will claim I oppose the caste census too,” he remarked. Maharashtra Assembly Polls in FocusThe Congress, part of the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), aims to strengthen its foothold in Maharashtra, especially after its strong performance in the Lok Sabha polls. With the state set to vote in a single phase on November 20 for its 288 Assembly seats, the party is looking to unseat the ruling Mahayuti alliance comprising BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), and Ajit Pawars NCP.
