Ex-Congress president Gandhi asserted that Modi is merely a ‘mask’ serving a greater ‘shakti.’
Criticising PM Modi, Gandhi said that he is lacking integrity.
Gandhi accused Modi of monopolizing corruption and insinuated that the alliances formed by the Shiv Sena and NCP with the ruling coalition were not spontaneous decisions.
Gandhi underlined the instances where leaders like Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar broke away from the grand old party to join the BJP-led government.
He alleged that Modi’s electoral victories relied heavily on EVMs and criticized the Election Commission’s reluctance to incorporate Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) counts.
Gandhi also mentioned a recent rally attended by leaders from various opposition parties as a demonstration of unity ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024 which is slated to take place in seven phases starting April 19.
