The BJP launched street rallies across Gujarat, accusing the Congress of offering excuses for its recent electoral losses.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) mobilised activists and leaders for a series of street rallies in Gujarat, signalling a fresh push ahead of upcoming elections. Party workers marched through major towns, unfurling flags and chanting slogans that targeted the opposition.
During the rallies, senior BJP figures publicly accused the Indian National Congress of deflecting responsibility for its recent defeats by making excuses. They highlighted vote share declines in previous polls and urged Congress supporters to reconsider their allegiance.
The campaign aims to consolidate the BJP's base in the state and portray the Congress as ineffective. Observers note that such on‑the‑ground mobilisation is a common strategy for the party as it seeks to maintain its dominance in Gujarat.
