New Delhi [India], August 30 (ANI): Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi over his “vote chori” allegations against the BJP and Election Commission, former Union Minister Uma Bharti has said that elections are won by having the ability to win the hearts of people, and the Congress leader should learn this.
In an interview with ANI, BJP leader Uma Bharti, a former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, stated that the Congress is unable to win polls and is being wiped out. Rahul Gandhi should think before he speaks or take homoeopathic medicine to improve his memory.
She said homoeopathic medicine is good for improving memory.
“Rahul Gandhi forgets that elections are not won by the Election Commission; they are won by winning the hearts of the people. I will tell Rahul Gandhi, first, learn to win the hearts of people. You disrespect the armed forces, talk about restoring Article 370 in J-K, despite the invitation, you did not even attend the Ram temple’s consecration ceremony. You disregard all things of national pride and are unable to win polls (as a party), party is being wiped out. Think before speaking or take homoeopathic medicine to improve memory,” she said.
Uma Bharti also referred to the Emergency and said that then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s advisors told her that she would sweep the polls, as people were afraid and she was in control.
“She lost. When voters decide whom to elect, nobody can steal a mandate…all the power is with the voters, “Uma Bharti added.
Rahul Gandhi has been levelling “vote chori” allegations against the BJP and the Election Commission. He has been repeating the allegations during the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in poll-bound Bihar.
Speaking in Siwan on Friday, he said people of Bihar have made it clear that they will not allow “vote theft” in their state.
In his public meetings in Bihar, Rahul Gandhi has been referring to his allegations related to discrepancies in the Mahadevapura assembly segment in Karnataka during the Lok Sabha polls.
“It is beginning, and soon the vote theft across the country will be exposed,” Rahul Gandhi alleged.
Opposition parties in Bihar have opposed the manner in which the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls is being done in Bihar.
Several other leaders of the BJP have earlier slammed Rahul Gandhi over his “vote chori” allegations.
Uma Bharti’s political journey has been marked by significant highs and lows. After leading the BJP to victory in Madhya Pradesh in 2003, ending Digvijaya Singh’s 10-year rule, she was later forced to contest an Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh’s Bundelkhand region in 2012. Despite being a prominent Hindutva leader, she was seen as a potential disruptor to the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in Madhya Pradesh.
However, Bharti’s resilience paid off when she won the parliamentary election from Jhansi in 2014 and became a Cabinet minister in Narendra Modi’s government. Her tenure as minister was cut short in 2017, leading her to announce that she wouldn’t contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. (ANI)
