In his first campaign rally for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of running the government for the benefit of a select few billionaires, particularly Gautam Adani. He pledged to scrap the Agniveer scheme and waive farmers’ loans if Congress wins. Gandhi criticized Modi for neglecting issues like unemployment and farmer concerns while promoting religious divisions. He emphasized the dominance of a few industrialists and lack of diversity in media leadership. Promising a caste census, he portrayed Congress’s manifesto as a reflection of people’s voices.
