Hyderabad, Telangana: Congress leader Shri Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on April 6, 2024, blew the bugle for the Lok Sabha elections at a public rally, featuring lakhs of people at Tukkuguda on the city outskirts.

Shri Rahul Gandhi said that the Congress had defeated the B-team of the BJP, an apparent reference to the BRS, in Telangana state and would triumph over the A-team of India, the BJP, in forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. He said that the Congress government in the state had delivered on the Six Guarantees within 100 days of coming to power. In a similar manner, the Congress will deliver ‘PanchNyay-Pachees Guarantee’ across the country if it is voted to power in Lok Sabha elections.

He also unveiled the Telugu version of the national manifesto at the ‘Jana Jatara’ rally along with Shri Revanth Reddy, state Cabinet ministers, and senior Party leaders. Shri Rahul Gandhi struck an emotional chord stating that the relationship between his family and the people of Telangana state was not political but rather a ‘paarivarik’ (familial) one. Referring to the Congress national manifesto ‘PanchNyay-Pachees Guarantee’, former Congress President said, “It is not a Congress manifesto but the people’s manifesto. It is in alignment with the aspirations of the people…This manifesto has the potential to transform India. It can change the lives of women, the poor, and farmers.”

“The Congress has also promised to double the money being paid to Asha and Anganwadi workers,” Shri Rahul Gandhi said. He further said that if the Party comes to power, they would implement sixth schedule across the Adivasi regions. Addressing a rally at Seoni district- the centre of three Adivasi-dominated Lok Sabha seats- Chhindwara, Balaghat and Mandla, Shri Gandhi said, “Adivasi regions should be administered under sixth schedule and they should not take orders from Bhopal or Delhi.

We will put as much money in the hands of people as the Modi government has given to billionaires

Bikaner, Rajasthan: Addressing a rally in Rajasthan’s Anupgarh in Bikaner on April 11, 2024, Shri Rahul Gandhi said farmers are asking for a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for their crops, youth are seeking employment, and women want relief from inflation but no one is listening.

“The amount of money that the Modi government has given to billionaires, we will give the same amount of money to the poor, the backward, Dalits and Adivasis,” Shri Rahul Gandhi said, reiterating the promises made in the Congress Manifesto that are based on “five pillars of justice and 25 guarantees”.

He asserted that the upcoming Lok Sabha election is about protecting the country’s Constitution and Democracy. “This is an election between the poor and 22-25 billionaires,” he said. The Congress leader addressed another public rally in Jodhpur, where he not only echoed the same sentiments but added that his Lok Sabha membership was taken away after he raised the issue of the Adani Group’s relationship with the Prime Minister.

‘2024 Lok Sabha Polls: An ideological war’, says Shri Rahul Gandhi

Chennai: “The Lok Sabha polls 2024 is just not any ordinary elections that we face every five years but it is an ideological war between the autocratic rule and democratic forces that wanted the Legacy and Constitution of the country protected,” said Shri Rahul Gandhi, the former Indian National Congress President, on April 12, 2024. Shri Rahul Gandhi shared the stage with DMK leader M.K. Stalin and sought votes for the Congress and the DMK for Lok Sabha seats.

He said that Narendra Modi’s Government should be called Adani Government, because, according to him, “Modi does everything for Adani. That’s how Adani wanted Mumbai Airport. A case was registered by the CBI against those who owned Mumbai Airport and within a few weeks, Mumbai Airport became Adani’s and thereafter there was no news about the CBI case.” He said that Modi legalised corruption through electoral bonds and that was subsequently nullified by the Supreme Court as ‘Illegal’. Modi used the agencies such as ED, CBI and IT to raid the business establishments.

Listing out the schemes that Congress Manifesto has unleashed, he promised Minimum Support Price for farmers, NEET exemption. Let the people of Tamil Nadu decide through their wisdom whether they wanted NEET or not. Taking a dig at Modi for waiving the corporate tax, Shri Rahul said that farm loans will be waived, Aasha Anganwadi workers’ wages would be doubled. Backing Chief Minister Shri M.K. Stalin’s demand for flood relief from the Centre, Shri Rahul Gandhi said that the repeated appeals in this connection were adamantly turned down.“But they mocked at the relief given by the State Government to the flood-hit as ‘pitchai’ (alms),” he said.

Recalling his close association with Tamil Nadu, the Congress leader said those who want to understand about social justice, pluralism, culture, languages of India should first read the history of Tamil Nadu.

“I may not be able to understand Tamil. But I’ve read a lot about your great kings, poets, freedom fighters and the leaders including E.V. Ramasamy Periyar and late Chief Ministers K. Kamaraj, Annadurai and Karunanidhi. It indeed taught me about walking on the path of social justice. Hence, I started my 4,000 Km-long ‘Bharat Jodo Padayatra’ from Tamil Nadu’s Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Whenever I come here, I come with humility and my head bowed before your culture, tradition, love and affection as it is not a political relationship, but a family relationship,” he said.
