Several opposition leaders targeted the ruling BJP from one platform on Sunday, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stressing that he was compelled to launch his Bharat Jodo yatras to highlight rising unemployment, inflation and hatred in society.
In a show of strength, leaders of the I.N.D.I.A (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) grouping assembled in Mumbai for a mega rally ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, which will be held in seven phases starting April 19.
Addressing the rally at Mumbai's Shivaji Park after the conclusion of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Gandhi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi won't be able to win the Lok Sabha elections without EVMS, ED, CBI and Income Tax.
"Our fight against Modi is not on a personal level. Modi is a mask' who works for a shakti (power). He is a shallow man who doesn't have a 56-inch chest," Gandhi said.
The former Congress president alleged that PM Modi had a monopoly over corruption.
"Do you think the Shiv Sena and NCP people split and joined the ruling alliance just like that," he asked.
While Eknath Shinde led a split in the Shiv Sena in 2022 and aligned with the BJP to become the Maharashtra chief minister, Ajit Pawar triggered a similar upheaval in the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) last year.
