Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan launched a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of "living in delusion" and claiming that the Congress leader's failure to learn from electoral setbacks is helping the NDA continue its winning streak. Addressing an event in Bihar's Jamui while highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governance and development initiatives during his record 12-year tenure, Paswan took aim at Rahul Gandhi's recent remark that he had not lost the 2024 Lok Sabha election and had already "won" the 2029 contest. Read Full Story "Rahul Gandhi lives in delusion. He keeps believing in his own mind. What's the harm in believing in your own mind?
Suppose you become the President of the US, suppose you become the Secretary General of the United States. Believe whatever you want, believe it. Who is stopping you from believing?" the Union Minister said. He further argued that such a mindset prevents introspection and correction of mistakes. "Rahul Gandhi lives in delusion. A person living in delusion does not work hard, which is why mistakes remain uncorrected," he said. Paswan said the opposition's repeated electoral defeats stem from its inability to identify and address its shortcomings. "If you do not improve your shortcomings, do not learn from them and move forward, we will continue to win," he said.
The Union Minister contrasted the NDA's electoral success with what he described as the opposition's internal divisions. "While the Prime Minister is popular and the public trusts our policies, the opposition is divided. When they lose elections, they sit in a room with the INDIA Alliance, and then elections will come again, and then they will split," he said. Taking a swipe at the alliance partners, Paswan added, "Today they are embracing Mamata Banerjee, while just a week ago they were cursing her in Bengal." "In such a situation, this alliance of ambitious parties will still not learn from its mistakes. I don't think the opposition will be able to make a comeback for 30-40 years," he said.
The Union Minister's attack came days after Rahul Gandhi asserted that the opposition had "not lost the 2024 election" and had "already won the 2029 election." "When India's thinking, the soul of the country, is in crisis... when there is a takeover of institutions... when the voice of the people is suppressed... then only resistance with unity works," he said in a post on X on June 13. "I am saying it again - we did not lose the 2024 election, and we have already won the 2029 election." Ends
