Chhattisgarh Congress MLA says Rahul Gandhi is modern-day Mahatma Gandhi
Congress scion Rahul Gandhi is a modern-day Mahatma Gandhi, Chhattisgarh Congress MLA Amitesh Shukla has said, as he drew parallels between the father of the nation and the former Wayanad MP whose disqualification from the Lok Sabha has sparked nationwide protests from Congress cadres.
Congress scion Rahul Gandhi is a modern-day Mahatma Gandhi, Chhattisgarh Congress MLA Amitesh Shukla has said, as he drew parallels between the father of the nation and the former Wayanad MP whose disqualification from the Lok Sabha has sparked nationwide protests from Congress cadres.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Shukla termed Rahul Gandhi as the “Mahatma Gandhi of modern India”, as he claimed similarities between the two figures.
Amitesh Shukla who won with the highest margin of votes in the 2018 Assembly elections in the state, drew parallels between the Gandhi scion and father of the nation who led India’s independence movement against the British colonial rule.
Shukla claimed that Rahul Gandhi undertook the Bharat Jodo Yatra in the same vein as Mahatma Gandhi’s historical Dandi March against the British.

Calling Rahul Gandhi ‘Rashtriya Putra’ (son of the nation), Shukla said he is making such a claim very responsibly as he himself belongs to a family of freedom fighters and based on things he heard about Mahatma Gandhi from his father Shyama Charan Shukla- the former chief minister of undivided Madhya Pradesh as well as his uncle and senior Congress leader Vidya Charan Shukla, he felt there are a “lot of similarities” between the Mahatma and the former Congress president.
Claiming more similarities, he said that like Mahatma Gandhi, Rahul could have laid claim to the Prime Minister’s post in 2004 and 2008, but for the greater good, chose not to.
The legislator further claimed that like Mahatma Gandhi’s famous ‘Dandi March’, Rahul Gandhi also trekked across the country during his Bharat Jodo Yatra and interacted with the masses throughout his march.
Shukla said Rahul Gandhi “fearlessly speaks the truth” on the Adani issue backed by statistics in the same way Mahatma Gandhi brought down the British Empire with his weapon of truth.
Meanwhile, in a sharp retort to MLA Shukla’s comparisons between Rahul Gandhi and the Mahatma, BJP MP Santosh Pandey said that Chhattisgarh Congress has become mentally and intellectually bankrupt.

Lok Sabha election 2024: PM Modi to hold roadshow in Ayodhya
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will offer prayers and hold a roadshow in Ayodhya.
The 2024 Lok Sabha Elections are now in progress across the country, with the first two stages having concluded on April 19 and 26. An important step in the electoral process is coming up on May 7, which is the date of the third phase. As the peak of campaigning approaches, political parties are stepping up their efforts to win over voters. Today, as part of election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is will travel to Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, where he will lead a roadshow and offer prayers at the Ram Temple.
On May 7, elections will be held for 94 Lok Sabha seats spread across 12 states and Union Territories.
The INDIA bloc and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA are the two main political groups that will compete in the 2024 Lok Sabha Election. The NDA has the BJP, the PMK, the JDU, and other political parties as members, whereas the INDIA bloc is made up of political parties like the Congress, the AAP, the TMC, etc.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi has been the subject of a complaint about his nomination from the Raebareli constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Regarding Rahul Gandhi’s nationality, his recent defamation conviction, and how the Election Commission may accept his nomination, the complaint raises some red flags.
However, in a meeting with young people impacted by the Agnipath Scheme on Saturday in the national capital, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that the National Security Advisor and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, rather than the Indian Army, created the program.
Gandhi assured the youth that this program would end and the army’s previous recruitment procedure would be reinstated should the INDIA alliance win the elections.
With echoes of abki baar 400 paar, the NDA is aiming for its third consecutive term in this general election. In contrast, the opposition INDIA alliance is running an economical campaign, pledging cash handouts to women and MSP for farmers in its manifesto.
On June 4, the results of the Lok Sabha election will be announced after the votes have been counted.

Former Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely joins BJP
Arvinder Singh Lovely said they have been given an opportunity to fight for the people of Delhi under the banner of BJP and under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
Days after resigning from the post of the Delhi Congress president in protest against the party’s alliance with INDIA bloc partner AAP and over selection of party candidates, Arvinder Singh Lovely joined BJP on Saturday. Lovely joined BJP in the presence of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva and the BJP’s national general secretary Vinod Tawde.
He, along with 4 former Congress leaders, joined the BJP in the presence of Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri. The 4 others who joined the party include former Congress MLAs who had recently left the party — Neeraj Basoya, Rajkumar Chauhan, Delhi youth Congress chief Amit Malik and Naseeb Singh.
Speaking to the media after joining the BJP, Arvinder Singh Lovely said, they have been given an opportunity to fight for the people of Delhi under the banner of BJP and under the leadership of the Prime Minister. He had full hope, and there is no doubt about it, that the BJP government is being formed in the country with an overwhelming majority. Lovely added that in the coming days, the flag of the BJP will fly in Delhi too.
Lovely’s resignation on April 28 was a setback to Delhi Congress in terms of optics and perception. Coming 4 days after former Delhi minister Rajkumar Chauhan quit the party, the resignation of Lovely, who has been heading the Delhi unit since August last year, has been a blow to the Congress’s preparations for the May 25 elections in Delhi.
After the announcement of the resignation, AAP minister Saurabh Bharadwaj took to his X handle to allude to the links between Lovely and BJP. It is the 2nd time that Arvinder Singh Lovely has stepped down as the Delhi Congress president. Lovely’s resignation came a day after more than a 1000 members of the Sikh community, including office-bearers of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, joined the BJP in the presence of its national president J P Nadda.
