Overview
- Speaking at back-to-back rallies in Begusarai and Khagaria on November 2, Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being "scared" of U.S. President Donald Trump and "remote-controlled" by Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani.
- Gandhi linked his charge to Operation Sindoor, claiming Modi ended a military confrontation with Pakistan after a call from Trump, a narrative the government has previously denied.
- He argued that demonetisation and the Goods and Services Tax were designed to hurt small traders and benefit large corporations, pitching an INDIA bloc plan to replace "made in China" with "made in Bihar."
- He alleged the BJP and RSS "stole" earlier state elections and claimed supporters of the opposition alliance were removed from Bihar voter lists, saying he would present proof again.
- Positioning the alliance, Gandhi campaigned alongside INDIA partner Mukesh Sahni and highlighted a promise to make him deputy chief minister to broaden social representation.
