Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its “double engine” claim, calling it hollow. Gandhi stated that the BJP’s promise of development in states where they are in power at both the state and central levels is not being fulfilled. He accused the BJP of only focusing on dividing people and spreading hatred. The Congress leader made these remarks during a virtual interaction with Goa’s health workers. Gandhi’s comments come ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Goa, where the BJP is seeking re-election. The Congress party is looking to make gains in the state and has been actively campaigning against the ruling BJP. The “double engine” model refers to the BJP being in power at both the state and central levels, which the party claims leads to more efficient governance and faster development. However, Gandhi’s criticism suggests that the opposition sees this as a mere slogan with no real impact on the ground. As the political climate heats up in the state, these statements by Gandhi are likely to add fuel to the ongoing debate between the two parties. The upcoming elections in Goa will be closely watched as they could indicate the mood of the nation ahead of the general elections.
