BJP Seizes Rahul Gandhi’s Verbal Slip as Congress Fires Salvos at Nagpur Rally

In a charged address at the Congress’s 139th Foundation Day rally in Nagpur, Rahul Gandhi intensified attacks on the BJP, highlighting issues spanning India’s freedom fight to the present governance. However, a momentary verbal slip became the focal point as BJP’s Shehzad Poonawalla swiftly shared a clip capturing Gandhi’s fumble during the speech.

Gandhi’s speech, resonating with election fervor, targeted the BJP and RSS, likening their ideology to pre-independence oppression. He critiqued the BJP-led government’s policies, alleging a regression into poverty for many. Promising a caste census under a prospective INDIA alliance government, Gandhi reaffirmed Congress’s historical contributions, citing the Constitution’s architects.

This rally, held in Nagpur, the RSS headquarters, signals the escalating political landscape ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
