Why is Rahul Gandhi silent on his promises to Telangana youth: KTR
Rahul Gandhi has been subjected to a barrage of attacks by Prime Minister Modi and his trusted officials recently. At a World Summit conference, Modi focused heavily on the Leader of the Opposition and his family, calling them a 'burden' on the Congress Party. In contrast, the Minister of External Affairs and the Home Minister have also criticized Rahul, with the latter predicting BJP's dominance for the next thirty years due to Congress Party's incompetence.
BJP officials have also been seen taking abusive shots at Rahul during debates. This sudden change in tactics suggests that the Modi government is concerned about Rahul Gandhi becoming a serious threat. The rise in Congress Party's approval ratings and more favorable opinion polls may be contributing to the worry. However, the Congress Party's control over the party of the freedom movement, despite losing numerous elections, remains unchanged.
It's unclear if this will change, but Rahul Gandhi needs to offer something beyond the Gandhi name to win elections.
