Is something bothering Congress in Rajasthan? These questions have been raised often. Now Congress leader Rahul Gandhi says that a ‘very close’ contest may be seen in Rajasthan. However, Rahul expressed overall confidence of the party doing well in the upcoming assembly elections. Rahul said on Sunday that Congress is definitely winning the Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh assembly elections. Probably we will win in Telangana also but a close fight can be seen in Rajasthan.
Let us tell you that assembly elections are proposed in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram in a few months. When asked about the prospects of Congress, Rahul Gandhi said that there is no question of Congress not winning in any state in the upcoming assembly elections. I would say right now we are probably winning Telangana, we are definitely winning Madhya Pradesh, we are definitely winning Chhattisgarh. There is a very close contest in Rajasthan and we think we will win. By the way, BJP is also saying the same internally.
Rahul said that Congress learned an important lesson in Karnataka that BJP wins elections by diverting attention and hence we fought the elections by keeping our point prominent. What are you seeing today, Bidhuri and then Nishikant Dubey, BJP is trying to divert attention from the issue of caste census by doing all this. They know that caste census is a basic thing which they do not want to discuss. Every time we bring up this issue they distract us but now we have learned how to deal with it.
Rahul said- If you see Telangana elections, we are deciding the discussions while BJP is finished there. Congress is planning discussions before the elections in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. If you talk to people in Rajasthan about what the issue is in terms of anti-incumbency, they will tell you that they like the government. We are getting into a situation where BJP controls the media. Don’t think that the opposition is not able to adapt accordingly, we are adapting, we are working together.
Rahul claimed that BJP has captured the communication system of the 21st century to such an extent that it is practically impossible to talk to the people of India through it. The biggest learning from the Bharat Jodo Yatra was that the old way of communication and meeting people, which was started in the modern era by Mahatma Gandhi and carried forward by others in the old era, still works. No matter how much force BJP uses, its plans will not succeed because now there is direct communication with the people.
