"Rahul Gandhi's 'economic tsunami' was in 2013 under Manmohan and Sonia Gandhi’s incompetent leadership. Congress created weakness through corruption. Modi government creates resilience," Reddy asserted, demanding Rahul to stop irresponsible attacks damaging India's global reputation.
If, as per Rahul’s claims, the Chief Election Commissioner, intelligence chiefs, judges, and all institutions have been secretly working for him for three years, why has Congress suffered humiliating election defeats and lost deposits repeatedly, Reddy asked and said that not a single election rigging allegation by Congress has been proven in court.
Kishan Reddy questioned why Rahul Gandhi vehemently opposed the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists if everyone works for him. The SC and CEC endorsed SIR as beneficial for national interest. "Is Rahul Gandhi opposing voter list purification because he wants foreigners and illegal voters to remain on rolls?" Kishan Reddy asked.
Kishan Reddy accused Rahul Gandhi of repeatedly spreading fabricated conspiracy theories — democracy ending, institutions captured, election rigging, emergency and "economic tsunami" — to agitate people.
