During a high-stakes Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, Rahul Gandhi declared PM Modi 'politically finished' and accused him of being fearful of the Congress resurgence. The party outlined a massive roadmap to tackle paper leaks, China incursions, and temple donation controversies.

  • Rahul Gandhi claimed PM Modi is 'politically finished' and 'scared of Congress'.
  • Congress to launch nationwide campaigns against paper leaks and 'donation theft'.
  • Demands for Supreme Court-monitored probe into Ram Temple donations.
  • In a significant escalation of political rhetoric, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi addressed the Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Wednesday, targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi with unprecedented intensity. Gandhi asserted that the Prime Minister is 'politically finished' and has 'come to his knees,' suggesting that the current government's dominance is nearing its end.

    The four-hour meeting held at Indira Bhavan in New Delhi served as a strategic brainstorming session for the opposition. Beyond personal attacks, the Congress leadership delved into critical national concerns, including the systemic failure of the education system, the rising menace of paper leaks, and alleged irregularities in the Ram Temple donations in Ayodhya.

    Why This Matters

    BozokMedia analysis shows that the Congress is pivoting from a defensive stance to a highly aggressive grassroots strategy. By linking issues like student unemployment and paper leaks to national security and religious transparency, the party is attempting to build a multi-dimensional coalition of voters ranging from the youth to rural populations.

    "The shift in Gandhi's rhetoric from policy critique to personal political assessment marks a new, more combative phase in India's opposition politics."

    A major focal point of the meeting was the 'Chanda Chori' allegation. The CWC demanded an independent probe, supervised by the Supreme Court, into the accounts and assets of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The party accused the BJP of weaponizing religious sentiments for political mobilization while maintaining a distance from actual accountability.

    On the security front, the Congress slammed the government's 'surrender policy' regarding China. The party highlighted concerns over Chinese incursions in Arunachal Pradesh, alleging that PLA personnel have restricted Indian access to traditional patrolling and grazing areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

    Furthermore, the party addressed economic and social issues, including the environmental and consumer impact of E20 fuel and the urgent need for the 33% Women's Reservation in the Lok Sabha to be implemented by the 2029 elections. The meeting concluded with a resolution to take these grievances directly to the panchayat level through massive nationwide campaigns.
