Congress Aims for Victory in 2027 Elections, Claims Ajay Rai

Varanasi, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : Congress leader Ajay Rai has expressed confidence that his party will secure a significant victory in the upcoming 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. Speaking in Varanasi on November 10, Rai criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his recent discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and accused him of making grand announcements that fail to translate into real change on the ground.

Rai pointed out that Modi’s government seems to only address critical issues like food security and employment when elections are approaching, suggesting that these discussions are merely strategic moves to mislead the public. He emphasized that the Prime Minister’s primary goal appears to be winning elections at any cost.

On the launch of Sonia Gandhi‘s new book, Rai highlighted the Congress party’s commitment to simplicity, stating that they do not rely on extravagant marketing or events. He remarked that Modi’s approach resembles that of an event manager, while praising Sonia Gandhi for her humility and dedication to the country. Rai welcomed the book’s availability in stores, asserting that it reflects the party’s straightforward communication style.

In response to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s announcement regarding penalties for delayed work by officials, Rai criticized her as merely a puppet, suggesting that she lacks independent thought and follows directives from the Prime Minister’s office.

Regarding Modi’s labeling of Rahul Gandhi as a Naxalite, Rai defended Gandhi, stating that he consistently raises concerns for the underprivileged and works tirelessly for their rights. He accused Modi of deflecting attention from these issues with baseless allegations against Gandhi.

Addressing concerns raised by Ashok Gehlot about the state of democracy in the country, Rai expressed his belief that the electoral commission is compromised and that the democratic process is under threat. However, he remained optimistic that the public is aware and ready for change, which he believes will begin with the elections in Uttar Pradesh and four other states.

Rai also responded to remarks by Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra, who blamed Punjab for pollution in the capital. He argued that Delhi’s leaders should focus on the city’s situation rather than shifting blame, holding the BJP and Modi’s government responsible for the deteriorating air quality.

As for the strategy for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Rai affirmed that Congress is fully engaged and prepared, expressing strong confidence that the party will emerge victorious.
