Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the BJP’s “double engine” claim as hollow during his visit to Goa. He stated that the BJP government at the center and in the state had failed to deliver on their promises. Rahul Gandhi highlighted issues such as unemployment, inflation, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy. He also questioned the BJP’s handling of the border situation with China and the farmers’ protests. The Congress leader accused the BJP of focusing on divisive politics rather than addressing the real concerns of the people. Rahul Gandhi’s comments come ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Goa, where both the BJP and Congress are gearing up for a tough battle. The BJP has been emphasizing its “double engine” government model, which involves having the same party in power at both the center and the state to ensure faster development. However, Rahul Gandhi’s criticism aims to shake this narrative and highlight the alleged shortcomings of the BJP’s governance. As the political temperature rises in Goa, all eyes are on how these contrasting narratives will play out in the upcoming elections.
