Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition, has launched a fierce attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that he has lost his earlier resolve and is now merely reacting to the opposition’s demands. Gandhi stated, “Clearly, the Narendra Modi of today is not the same as he once was”. He emphasized that the PM’s approach has changed, and whatever the opposition demands gets accomplished.

Gandhi also addressed the contentious abrogation of Article 370, reiterating the need to restore Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood. He accused the BJP-led central government of perpetuating a culture of hate and violence across the nation. Gandhi framed the ongoing conflict between the Congress and its allies and the BJP as an ideological battle, underlining the importance of unity and compassion.

In his speech, Gandhi highlighted the BJP’s politics of animosity and division, stating that they incite divisions among people throughout the country. He concluded by emphasizing the importance of promoting love and unity, saying, “On one side, there are those who sow discord, and on the other, there are those who promote ‘Mohabbat ki dukaan’ (a shop of love).”
