Lok Sabha Elections 2024: 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 significant state of Maharashtra. In her speech, she criticized the government for inflation and unemployment, declaring the people’s decision to vote out the current administration and bring in a new one that serves their interests. She also highlighted the failures of the BJP-led government and the Congress’ guarantees.

During her speech, Ms. Gandhi was interrupted by a slogan chanted in her party’s favor. She used this opportunity to take a swipe at the BJP and PM Modi, asserting that the people’s mood is changing, and their theatrics will no longer work. She emphasized the need for truth in leadership and criticized the focus on religion and caste in voting decisions.

Ms. Gandhi also referenced the Congress’ successful guarantees in Karnataka and their relevance in the upcoming elections. She urged voters to focus on their own interests and emphasized the importance of leaders serving the people responsibly. The upcoming elections in Maharashtra are expected to be closely contested, with several factions vying for power.

The BJP and its allies had won a majority of seats in the previous election, but the upcoming contest is anticipated to be more competitive. The election is a significant one as Maharashtra sends the second-highest number of Lok Sabha MPs, with voters in 13 constituencies having already cast their ballots. Eleven more seats are set to go to the polls in the third phase on May 7.
