Congress MP and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, shared his speech delivered at the INDIA bloc meeting, that took place on June 8,
in Hindi. Taking to X, Rahul Gandhi said that many of his colleagues had requested him a Hindi translation of his speech, so here it is. Sharing his speech in Hindi, Rahul at the INDIA bloc meeting stressed upon the need for unity in the Opposition camp and claimed that they did not lose the 2024 Lok Sabha election and have already won the 2029 polls. After listening to the speeches and remarks of over 20 leaders at the INDIA Coalition meeting on June 8th, I finally addressed them with this speech, the LoP said. Originally sharing in Hindi, Rahul Gandhi said, "When India's thinking, the nation's soul, is in crisis... when institutions are captured... when the voice of the people is suppressed... only resistance combined with unity is effective." "I say it again -- we did not lose the 2024 elections, and we have already won the 2029 elections," Rahul wrote on X. "We will remain united, organise the people, and with the power of resistance, defeat the BJP and its takeover of India's institutions," he said.
Next Parliamentary Elections Are Already Won, Says Rahul Gandhi
In his speech, Gandhi told leaders of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) that going by the anger among people, the next parliamentary polls are "already won", but the main problem is that there will be no free-and-fair election to win.
At the INDIA bloc meeting on Monday, Gandhi also gave a clarion call to the opposition leaders to stay united, saying it is easy to beat the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) "if we stand together and resist".
The Congress leader also dismissed the notion that there is no coordination among the opposition parties.
"These are all ideas the BJP is putting out. This is not true. I am 100 per cent sure and I can vouch right now for the DMK. When it comes to defending the idea of India, every single person will be in this room," he said.
