Rahul Gandhi’s Fiery Speech Targets PM Modi
Patna, Bihar – Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a rally in Patna, accusing him of favoring industrialists over India’s unemployed youth. His remark—“The PM will dance if his industrialist friends make money, but he won’t shed a tear for the unemployed”—drew cheers from supporters but sparked a fierce BJP backlash.
Key Allegations: Unemployment, Cronyism, and Agnipath
Gandhi’s speech intensified Congress’s 2024 election campaign in Bihar, a critical political battleground. He criticized:
– Rising unemployment & inflation – “When Adani’s wealth grows tenfold, Modiji dances, but ignores jobless youth.”
– Agnipath scheme – Called it a betrayal of armed forces aspirants.
– COVID-19 handling – Alleged Modi sidelined Indian scientists for foreign vaccines.
BJP’s Retort: ‘Rahul is a Goon, Not a Leader’
The BJP swiftly countered:
– Union Minister Giriraj Singh branded Gandhi a “political goon” resorting to personal attacks.
– Amit Malviya (BJP IT chief) tweeted: “Rahul’s rants expose his failures; people have rejected him.”
– The party dismissed his claims as “baseless,” emphasizing Modi’s pro-poor initiatives.
Mixed Public Reactions in Bihar
- Opposition supporters praised Gandhi for raising unemployment and crony capitalism.
- BJP voters dismissed his remarks, citing Modi’s development work. Analysts note the clash could polarize sentiment ahead of 2024 polls.
What’s Next?
With elections nearing, expect more heated exchanges as Congress positions itself as the main anti-BJP force, while the ruling party defends its record.
