Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has called on INDIA bloc partners to adopt a continuous 'spirit of resistance' to challenge the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In a nine-minute speech shared on social media, Gandhi argued that the Opposition must transition from standard electoral politics into an aggressive, mass-mobilisation 'resistance movement'.
He positioned the Congress as the bloc's anchor to mount a unified front against the BJP, saying his party was willing to 'swallow all poison' and bear any humiliation to keep the Opposition united.
Gandhi also reiterated his allegation that the election commission was acting in a partisan manner and urged all partners to accept with '100% certainty' that the elections 'were being stolen'.
The BJP hit back at Gandhi, saying he should first focus on uniting the Congress.
