At the headquarters of the opposition Congress party, chants of 'Unite India' reverberated as women supporters voiced their backing for party leader Rahul Gandhi and criticized incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The atmosphere was charged with fervor as party worker Sunita Gautam expressed her concerns about the potential consequences of a re-election of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). She highlighted issues such as safety for women, rising Islamophobia, Hindu nationalism, the persistence of the caste hierarchy system, and high unemployment rates, particularly among the youth.
Gautam pointed out that Modi's promises of employment for the youth have not materialized, and she criticized his stance on women's rights. She emphasized the need for a government that respects and safeguards the interests of all citizens, regardless of gender, religion, or caste.
