2024 Lok Sabha Elections: Priyanka Gandhi Adds a Twist to BJP’s ‘Ab Ki Baar’ Slogan

Priyanka Gandhi addressed a rally in Maharashtra’s Latur, targeting the BJP in the state that elects the second-highest number of Lok Sabha MPs. She emphasized the people’s decision to vote out the current government due to issues such as inflation and unemployment and bring in a new administration that serves them.

During her speech, Ms. Gandhi was interrupted by a supporter chanting “*ab ki baar*” in favor of her party. She used this moment to criticize the BJP and PM Modi, stating that people are increasingly seeking truth and leadership that prioritizes their needs over political theatrics.

Gandhi expressed concern about voters’ tendency to base their decisions on religion and caste, advocating for a focus on tangible needs like infrastructure, education, and employment, rather than supporting leaders or parties. She also highlighted the successful implementation of Congress’ guarantees in Karnataka as evidence that manifesto promises carry weight, emphasizing the importance of these commitments in the upcoming elections.

The political landscape in Maharashtra is set for a closely contested battle, with the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP factions facing off against a coalition of the Congress and factions of the Shiv Sena and NCP in the upcoming phases. Priyanka Gandhi’s rally in Maharashtra sought to rally support for a new administration that prioritizes the needs of the people and emphasizes truth and accountability in governance.
