Haryana Election: BJP Slams Rahul Gandhi For Starting Congress Campaign From Assandh
Rahul Gandhi will launch the Congress campaign for the 2024 Haryana Assembly Election from Assandh.
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is set to launch his party’s campaign for Haryana Assembly Election 2024 from the Assandh segment on Thursday (September 26). The Congress has fielded former MLA Shamsher Singh Gogi from Assandh.
Ahead of Gandhi's rally, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attacked the Congress leader for campaigning for Gogi. BJP alleged that Gogi has openly declared he will 'fill his coffer' and those of people close to him, if the grand old party formed the government in Haryana.
"Rahul Gandhi is starting his rally in Haryana for a Congress candidate who, just two days ago, openly declared that he will loot Haryana. Rahul Gandhi is coming to campaign for the candidate who has declared that if the Congress government comes to power, he will first fill his own coffers and then the coffers of his people," the saffron party said in a post on X.
राहुल गांधी जी हरियाणा में अपनी रैली की शुरुआत एक ऐसे कांग्रेस प्रत्याशी के लिए कर रहे हैं, जिसने अभी दो दिन पहले ही हरियाणा को लूटने का खुला ऐलान किया है। राहुल गांधी उसके लिए चुनाव प्रचार करने आ रहे हैं जिसने घोषाणा की है कि अगर कांग्रेस की सरकार आती है, तो पहले अपना घर भरेंगे… pic.twitter.com/MusOTbutF1

Asking the Congress leader if he's planning to bring a 'common minimum programme' to 'loot' Haryana, BJP said, "Rahul Gandhi starts his election rally with the name of a Congress candidate who openly declares corruption. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party should answer for this alliance of corruption."
BJP also shared a purported video of Gogi saying he's will his coffers and that a government can't be run without corruption.
अभी मुझे मीडिया से जानकारी मिली कि आरक्षण विरोधी सोच रखने वाले नेता राहुल गांधी हरियाणा में अपनी चुनावी सभा की शुरुआत असंध से कर रहे हैं।

दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है कि राहुल गांधी ने चुनाव रैली की शुरुआत उसी कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार के समर्थन में की है, जिसने दो दिन पहले खुलेआम हरियाणा को…
Further, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini called Gandhi a leader with anti-reservation thinking and slammed him for campaigning for Gogi.
"Just now I got information from the media that Rahul Gandhi, a leader with anti-reservation thinking, is starting his election rally in Haryana from Assandh. It is unfortunate that Rahul Gandhi has started his election rally in support of the same Congress candidate who, two days ago, openly announced to loot Haryana and said that if Congress comes to power, we will “fill our houses” and “fill the houses of his people," Saini wrote on X.
Saini claimed that Gandhi starting his Haryana campaign in "support of a candidate who is openly declaring to loot the government treasury" is the "biggest proof" of him and Congress being "hardcore corrupt".
"I want to ask Rahul Gandhi what is his collusion with the Congress candidate from Assandh? He could have started the rally from anywhere else in Haryana! But why did he choose Assandh? Is this "filling one's own house" a plan to fill the treasury of Delhi Darbar? Rahul Gandhi should answer this," he said.
The Haryana CM also called the Congress party a "champion of corruption" said wrote, "Rahul Gandhi himself is on bail in a corruption case. Congress has looted Haryana a lot. I want to ask him whether by starting his rally in support of the Assandh candidate, he has come with an agenda to “fill his own coffers”?"
