Lok Sabha Election / India alliance sets agenda for 2024, stakes to surround Modi with Triple-E

Lok Sabha Election: With the announcement of Lok Sabha elections, political activity has increased in the country. PM Modi, who wrote the story of BJP's success in 2014 and 2019, is trying for his third consecutive victory. The 'India Alliance' is trying to stop the BJP from taking a hat-trick of power. In such a situation, in the concluding rally of Congress's 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' in Mumbai's Shivaji Park, the leaders of the India Alliance held each other's hands and gave a message of unity and pledged to defeat the BJP. India Alliance has also set its political agenda for the Lok Sabha elections.

A day after the announcement of 2024 Lok Sabha elections, India Alliance leaders gave a new slogan of 'Quit BJP' in a packed Shivaji Park and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is just a mask. There was also a good number of women and youth in the Mumbai rally of India Alliance. The way everyone from Rahul Gandhi to the leaders of the India Alliance raised the issue of EVM, ED and Electoral Bond in one voice and were seen cornering the Modi government, it is clear that the opposition is on the pretext of these 'Triple-E' issues. Is there a strategy to take on BJP in the 2024 election?

Opposition is raising questions on EVM

Rahul Gandhi has made a big attack on PM Modi regarding EVM. He said, 'Raja's soul is in institutions like EVM, ED, CBI.' Rahul said that without EVM, PM Modi cannot win the elections. He said that we told the Election Commission to do one thing – show the EVM machines to the opposition party, open them and show them to us. How these machines work, but not shown. Then we said that paper comes out of it, the vote is not in the machine, the vote is in the paper. Rahul said that if there is no problem with EVM then why does the Election Commission not conduct the counting from VVPAT slips. He asked what was the problem in this.

Echoing Rahul Gandhi, National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah to Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj and DMK chief MK Stalin also targeted EVMs. Farooq Abdullah said that these people are machine thieves. Please keep an eye on the EVM machine to see where your vote is going or someone else's vote. At the same time, Saurabh Bhardwaj said that the EVM has been set. If EVM increases the votes by ten percent then you will have to bring 20 percent more votes. Also, all the opposition leaders said that if their government comes to power, they will abolish EVMs. In this way, the opposition has given a clear indication regarding EVMs that they will keep raising questions on EVMs.

Attack on PM Modi on the pretext of ED

Without taking the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul said that Raja's soul is in EVM, ED, Income Tax, CBI. On the basis of this power, he is scaring the opposition leaders into joining BJP. A senior leader of this state leaves the Congress and he cried and told my mother that I do not have the courage to fight this power of these people, I do not want to go to jail. Thousands of people have been intimidated like this. People from many parties including Shiv Sena, NCP just left? They all went to BJP out of fear.

Rahul Gandhi directly alleged that opposition leaders are being intimidated and intimidated into joining BJP through central investigative agencies. Not only Congress, all the opposition leaders are openly calling ED's action and raids politically motivated and accusing them of silencing the opposition. In such a situation, it is clear that the way Rahul Gandhi has raised this issue in Shivaji Park, it is clear that the same noise will be heard in the election rallies also. While the opposition is continuously targeting the central government on this issue, PM Modi has also been saying that our government has a zero tolerance policy on the issue of corruption. It is clear from this that both the ruling party and the opposition are trying to make it an electoral weapon in their own way.

Will make electoral bond an election issue

The issue of electoral bonds has come to light at a time when the political heat of Lok Sabha elections is hot. In such a situation, the opposition has started targeting BJP and Modi government regarding electoral bonds. Rahul Gandhi said that Narendra Modi has the monopoly of corruption. Today recovery is going on in four ways. The first one is give donation, take business. The second is ⁠hafta recovery, the third is ⁠take contract, give bribe and the fourth and last is shell company. Rahul said that today the system of electoral bonds was removed, here extortion is going on on the streets, they (BJP) are doing it in the government. The company gets the contract, then they directly buy the electoral bonds. The company is not making any profit and is giving more money than that to BJP.

Not only Rahul Gandhi but other Congress leaders targeted BJP on many issues. During this, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin said that 'Electoral bonds are white collar corruption of BJP. Electoral bonds prove the corruption of BJP. At the same time, Congress leader Deepender Hooda targeted BJP while raising the issue of electoral bonds in a rally in Haryana. One thing is clear from this that the opposition will use electoral bonds as a major political weapon in the 2024 elections.

2024 Lok Sabha elections for opposition

The 2024 Lok Sabha elections are a 'do or die' situation for the opposition, as they have lost the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections. In such a situation, the opposition wants to unite and compete with the BJP this time. The leaders of India Alliance participated on the concluding stage of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and gave the message of their unity. Not only this, everyone raised their voice in one voice from EVM to ED and Electoral Bond and were seen attacking the Modi government. One thing is clear from this that the opposition has collectively made a plan to corner the Modi government. In Shivaji Park, the leaders of the India Alliance not only held each other's hands but also raised their voices. In such a situation, it is clear that the opposition is unanimous on the issues on which it has planned to make a political weapon in the elections against the Modi government?
