BJP Leader Predicts Loss For Rahul Gandhi in LS Polls, Says 'He's Worried About Losing MP Accommodation'

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken a veiled dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, suggesting that he will lose the Lok Sabha Election and is now worried about retaining his official MP residence after the June 4 results.

Claiming that the Congress MP would struggle to win the polls, BJP spokesperson Jairam Shergill said that Rahul was busy playing hide and seek rather than focussing on the polls.

“Rahul Gandhi instead of fighting elections is busy playing hide and seek. Rahul Gandhi is only worried about whether he will be able to retain an MP house after 4th June or not. That is the tragedy of the Congress party,” said Shergill, as quoted by news agency ANI.

Shergill also taunted the grand old party questioning its ability to win even 40 seats in the Lok Sabha polls and expressed confidence that PM Narendra Modi would secure a third term as Prime Minister.

“In this election, voters had only two things in mind. Firstly, they wanted to ensure that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected for the third term. Secondly, they wanted to ensure the Congress party was completely defeated. The general sentiment in the nation was that people wanted the BJP to win with a clear majority, and for the Congress party, the question was whether they would be able to cross the mark of 40 seats,” Shergill added.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the Congress has accepted its defeat even before the Lok Sabha poll results are out, and took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, saying that just as he lost from Amethi in 2019, the “Congress’ sahabzade” will lose the Wayanad parliamentary seat this time.

Addressing an election rally at Nanded in Maharashtra for the candidates of Nanded and Hingoli Lok Sabha seats, Modi accused the Congress of being a barrier in the path of development and that it cannot be trusted to work for the country’s progress.

Notably, Rahul Gandhi is contesting the Lok Sabha election 2024 from Kerala’s Wayanad.
