  "account": "BJP president Nitin Nabin declared on Wednesday that Narendra Modi will once again address the Red Fort's ramparts as Prime Minister following the 2029 general elections, while the Congress party is on its final legs under Rahul Gandhi. Joined by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Delhi BJP leader Harsh Malhotra, and numerous party supporters, Nabin spearheaded the BJP's \"Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao\" (Save Democracy, Expel Corruption) protest in the Chandni Chowk neighborhood, marching from Jain Lal temple to Town Hall Chowk. The Congress leaders were dismayed by the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process intended to purify voter rolls, but the BJP pledged to eliminate undesirables from the list, Nabin stated at a rally. Accusing Rahul Gandhi and the Congress of opposing SIR in various states, Nabin added, \"He has no attachment to the Constitution; his party follows his or his family's commands.\" The BJP chief also asserted that Modi remains steadfast and will return to the Red Fort for his Independence Day address in 2029, the traditional venue for the Prime Minister's speech. \"The Congress is succumbing to its demise under Rahul Gandhi; soon he will be the sole member of the party,\" Nabin asserted.",
  "summary": "“Congress leaders are distressed by the SIR exercise that seeks to clean up the voter list, but the BJP is committed to ensuring that infiltrators are removed from it,” says Nabin",
