'Super flop rally': BJP says Ramlila Maidan '40% empty', mocks INDIA bloc protest

On Sunday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) mocked the INDIA bloc's rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, describing it as a "super flop" event. They claimed that around 40% of the ground was empty, questioning the claims of a massive turnout from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders. The BJP's Sambit Patra took issue with Gandhi's address, suggesting the rally was a "complete waste of time" and accusing the opposition of staging a "trick photography" event.

Patra dismissed the visuals of a large gathering, stating, "Where were the 10 lakh people? Show us." He dismissed the opposition's claims of electoral irregularities, warning that even a chaiwala can become the Prime Minister, a point Gandhi echoed in his speech. Gandhi threatened legal action against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah over alleged vote theft.
