Rijiju Challenges Gandhi’s Gujarat Win Prediction: “One Roadshow, Five Foreign Trips?”

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has publicly questioned Rahul Gandhi’s confidence in the INDIA alliance’s potential victory in the upcoming Gujarat elections. Rijiju pointed to Gandhi’s relatively limited presence in the state, emphasizing a single roadshow and multiple trips abroad.

Is a Single Roadshow Enough to Secure Victory?

Rijiju’s remarks seem to imply that Gandhi’s minimal campaigning within Gujarat doesn’t reflect a serious bid for victory. He highlighted the contrast between a single roadshow and the extensive campaigning typically required to connect with voters across the state.

Gandhi’s Foreign Trips Under Scrutiny

The Union Minister also drew attention to Gandhi’s frequent foreign travels, suggesting they further detract from his commitment to winning Gujarat. This raises the question: can a party truly expect success if its key leader spends significant time outside the election battleground?
