  "account": "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.",
