INDI Alliance Rally Faces BJP Attack Over Crowd Claims

New Delhi, November 2: A rally organised by the INDI alliance at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan has come under fire from the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has accused the Congress and Rahul Gandhi of overstating its size.

Tarun Chugh, a BJP Rajya Sabha member, said Rahul Gandhi had claimed a turnout of 10 lakh people. Yet, according to Chugh, the venue appeared largely empty, with vacant chairs visible across the ground.

Chugh also questioned the purpose of the gathering, saying the alliance's objective was unclear. He said the Congress's 'vote chori' theory and politics he described as built on a film script had been dismissed by the people once more.

According to the BJP leader, Rahul Gandhi's political approach has narrowed down to threats, creating disorder, and questioning constitutional institutions as well as the judiciary. He claimed that such activities are being opposed by citizens, generating widespread anger.

The MP also commented on Gandhi's ambition to become prime minister, saying dreams cannot be stopped but the country does not wish to see him in that role.

Chugh said, 'Nobody can stop anyone from dreaming. Let him dream. The people do not want Rahul Gandhi as prime minister. If he wants to live Mungerilal's sweet dreams, that is fine.'

He added that Gandhi's electoral losses continue and his streak of defeats is now moving toward a second century.

Further, Chugh alleged that Gandhi had spoken against the Indian Army and used the language of Pakistan. He said those who use harsh words against the army, support Pakistan's military position, or attempt to malign India through a foreign toolkit would not be forgiven by the public.

Chugh concluded by saying Gandhi was trying to spread anarchy in the country and that Indian voters would not accept the politics of such leaders.

He said, 'People will not forgive anyone who insults our brave army, speaks the language of the Pakistani army, wants to defame India through a foreign toolkit, and tries to create anarchy in the country.'
