rahul gandhi, obviously to many people the leader of the congress party.said the idea of mr modi has been destroyed, and yet the bjp vote only went down by a percentage point or so from 2019, and they far outstripped your own congress party vote. but if you look at the numbers, really, the bjp has come down 70 members of parliament, from 303 down to 240, and congress party has more or less doubled its numbers. so i think a resounding vote against the government because the people... modi hasn't been destroyed. why are you pretending that he has? he hasn't. i think the way the government functioned for the last ten years, that was not acceptable to most indians, and this vote really has been a check and balance vote. of course, we didn't form the government. we don't have the numbers for that. but a strong united opposition is what the indian people wanted, and we have given it to them. the congress party, by the way, people were expecting us to do a lot worse but, i mean, we all knew the reality on the ground was different. so we got support across section

rahul gandhi regarded as a loser. they gained all those seats.al congress and actually, there were more celebrations there than we saw at the bjp. and you know, it's strange because this is a side that even at that time knew it was not going to form the government. but i think, as you said, there's been so many humiliating electoral setbacks for them, for their main face, rahul gandhi, over the past ten years, they've substantially improved their seats. however, we must remind ourselves this is among their top three worst performances ever in the country, for a party which is a pre—independence party, you know, often called the grand old party in india. there's still a lot of work to be done to be the actual sort of contender for the top post. and now, what happens to india and what happens to modi as india's leader? so, there's no dispute about the fact that he is the leader that the people have chosen. what they have done — what they seem to have done — is that they've reined in this aura of invincibility, this, you know, almost absolute grip o

and now the role of rahul gandhi in indian politics has increased significantly, but there is one importantre: the party that was building relations with moscow was itself... the indian national congress, not pharatsia jenata party in rendremode. during the years of such a special bromance between moscow and new delhi, this party was in opposition, even those formats that later created this party, they were in opposition. and narendra modi can fear that in terms of weakening his position, moscow may start playing with the indian opposition. this is also absolutely real. especially since no one can now say that ... khulgandi will not become the next prime minister of india, the next elections with such a trend may return the congress to power in countries, this is democracy, there the governments change, one way or another, of course, on renden modi, there is an outstanding political action from the point of view of obtaining power, or is he only jawaharlal nehru now able to compete for a term of office position, but everything can change the next time, and now many are talking about the mor

rahul gandhi and the congress party somehow feel the victory, although the opposite side has won a relativetory, but these changes and developments smell like victory for the opponents of the bjp. thank you, and now the reasons why their manager has decreased in any case, we want to analyze the loss of seats, what do you think are the roots? now, except for hindu, muslim, buddhist, christian, sikh, etc., etc., this plural and colorful biji party being the society of india to the extent. he ignores a lot , even though he tries to maintain an appearance sometimes, that is, mr. modi also sometimes sends a positive sign to muslims, where he is giving a speech, for example, the call to prayer is raised , he is silent to respect them, sometimes this there are problems, but really, the big problem is that the diversity and plurality of the indian society is being ignored, and today mr. rargani also said that the people's defense of the constitution of that society is being compromised in a way, he is playing a game to hit the ruling party. that we want to keep this plurality let's do the positive
