The upcoming Lok Sabha election is between two ideologies of those working for a select few billionaires and the other for the poor, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on April 8 as he kickstarted the party’s campaign in Madhya Pradesh’s tribal-dominated Mahakoshal region.
“The election is about two ideologies. On one side is [Prime Minister] Narendra Modi ji who works for two-three billionaires of India, while on the other side is the Congress party that works for the poor, farmers, Dalits, tribals and backward class people,” Mr. Gandhi said at a poll rally in Seoni district under Mandla Lok Sabha constituency.
This was Mr. Gandhi’s first visit to the State after the announcement of election dates. Later in the day, Mr. Gandhi also addressed a rally in Shahdol Lok Sabha segment. Following the rally, the Congress said Mr. Gandhi would stay overnight in Shahdol as his helicopter could not take off due to bad weather.
