Only Rahul Gandhi can take on Narendra Modi in 2019, dethrone BJP ,says Sachin Pilot
Congress president Rahul Gandhi is the only person who can take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2019 polls and his attacks on the government’s failures are galvanising the opposition, party leader Sachin Pilot has said.
The BJP was running away from answering questions but Mr. Gandhi was forcing it to be accountable, the Congress’ Rajasthan unit chief said.
Support for the Congress president’s leadership also came from Sonia Gandhi who said in her address to the Congress Parliamentary Party on Thursday that Rahul Gandhi was her boss too, and asked party MPs to work with him to strengthen the party.
“Mr Gandhi is relentlessly taking on the BJP leadership for all its failures (and) that is giving a lot of energy and confidence to opposition forces,” Mr. Pilot told.
“He is the only person who is going to be able to take on Mr Modi and mount a formidable challenge to dethrone the BJP in 2019,” said Pilot, under whose leadership the Congress won the key Rajasthan bypolls recently.
The way the Congress president has been aggressively taking on the BJP for its failures has attracted many anti-BJP forces and is galvanising the opposition, he said.
According to Mr. Pilot, the BJP was becoming “nervous” with Mr. Gandhi constantly asking them questions on the promises made by them.
“It’s very easy to give a sermon and monologue but when you are asked questions on past performance, on data, on promises made, that is when the BJP loses it nerve. That is exactly what Mr Gandhi has been able to do,” he said.
