At a public rally in Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi rebuked Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Aloo Se Sona’ comment, prompting supporters to chant his name.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a gathering in Gujarat on Saturday, taking a swipe at opposition leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent remark that suggested gold could be made from potatoes. Modi framed the comment as a distraction from real economic challenges and emphasized his government’s focus on agricultural reforms and price stability.
The Prime Minister’s remarks were met with enthusiastic applause, and sections of the crowd began chanting “Modi kahin nahi jayega,” a slogan that underscores his enduring popularity in the state. Political analysts noted that the exchange reflects the heightened rhetoric ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
While the rally was primarily a platform for the ruling party’s development agenda, the brief verbal sparring highlighted the continuing contest of narratives between the BJP and the Congress. No further statements from Rahul Gandhi were recorded at the event.
The incident underscores the charged political atmosphere in Gujarat, a key state for both parties, as they vie for voter support ahead of the next general elections.
