Saharanpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav during a rally in Saharanpur on Saturday. PM Modi referred to their unsuccessful partnership in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls, likening it to the release of a "flop film" by "two boys" once again.

PM Attacks INDIA Alliance

In his speech, PM Modi also criticized the INDIA alliance, emphasizing the difference between their pursuit of "commission" and his government's focus on a mission. PM Modi accused the opposition, particularly Congress and Samajwadi Party, of not aiming to win elections but rather to limit BJP and NDA's seat count. He highlighted the challenges faced by Congress in finding suitable candidates, even in its traditional strongholds.

Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav had previously formed an alliance for the 2017 assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, which didn't yield desired results. PM Modi recalled their joint efforts during a roadshow in Agra earlier this year.

PM Modi expressed pride in the BJP's growing support and emphasized the party's commitment to national interests over political gains. He highlighted the BJP's track record of winning people's trust through its actions and policies.
