Rahul Gandhi struck an emotional chord with the people of Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, asserting that he considers himself their soldier in New Delhi. He assured party workers, whom he referred to as 'the lions of the Congress,' that his doors are always open for them.
Taking a jab at Prime Minister Modi, Gandhi noted a change in Modi's body language and confidence following the parliamentary poll results. 'You know my relationship with you. It is not a political connection; it is a relationship of love and shared heritage. My family comes from your state,' Gandhi told Congress workers in Jammu and Kashmir.
Accompanied by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Gandhi stressed the importance of respecting both party leaders and workers, likening them to 'generals' and 'sepoys', respectively. He praised the resilience of Congress workers who faced hardships, asserting that the Congress has challenged Modi's confidence and will continue to oppose BJP policies across the country. Gandhi also advocated for the restoration of Jammu and Kashmir's statehood and emphasized grassroots participation in elections.
