INDIA bloc’s electoral success will entirely depend on how successfully it is able to unravel the three illusions about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said at the alliance’s meeting on Friday.
Mr. Gandhi was one of the last to speak at the meeting. According to informed sources, he said Mr. Modi had successfully weaved wrong perceptions about himself and his government. The first of which was that Mr. Modi was not corrupt and the government run by him was also free of corruption. But it was not the case, Mr. Gandhi said, pointing to the Hindenburg report and the recent news stories in Financial Times and The Guardian, which, he said, had clearly established Mr. Modi’s role in the unprecedented growth of industrialist Gautam Adani over a short period of time. INDIA bloc must take this to the people, in one voice..
The second “wrong perception”, Mr. Gandhi said was that Mr. Modi had improved India’s standing in the world, which again was “false”. He pointed out the example of administrative paralysis over the Chinese incursions in Ladakh.
