NPP chief and Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma today stated that Rahul Gandhi could have accepted the court verdict rather than attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“He could have apologised for his statement and focus on course correction rather than challenging the PM at this moment,” Conrad said.
In a whatsapp statement here today, the Chief Minister termed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s action of challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘unfortunate’ following his conviction in a defamation case by a Surat Court.
“Such a statement is an insult not just to the PM of the nation but also to the entire OBC community,” he said.
He also suggested that Rahul Gandhi should accept the rules laid down by the Election Commission of India.
Mentionably, during his election speech in 2019, Rahul Gandhi insulted PM Modi and ridiculed that people with the surname Modi were all thieves.
When asked whether this situation would impact the prospects of the Congress party in the upcoming 2024 election, the NPP chief opined that it would undoubtedly impact the Congress prospects in 2024.
“The Congress faced a difficult situation in 2014 and 2019, and this situation would further impact the Congress in the coming 2024 elections,” he said.
