Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday hit again at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s touch upon ‘shakti.’ While talking at a rally in Telangana’s Jagtial, he mentioned that He is able to sacrifice his life for ‘shakti’ (Main jaan ki baazi laga dunga). Comparing the phrase ‘shakti’ to lady empowerment, he remarked that each lady, whether or not a mom, daughter, or sister, embodies ‘shakti,’ saying that he himself is a worshipper of Bharat Mata.
As the vote counting for all 543 Lok Sabha seats are scheduled to happen on June 4, PM advised, “The competitors will happen on June 4 (Muqabla 4 June ko ho jaaega).” Taking a dig on the opposition, the PM mentioned that on the one hand, there are individuals who speak concerning the destruction of energy, whereas alternatively, there are individuals who worship Shakti. “We dedicated the success of the Chandrayaan mission by naming the point where Chandrayaan landed as ‘Shiv Shakti’” PM Modi added.

Rahul Gandhi, talking in Maharashtra on Sunday, expressed considerations concerning the functioning of digital voting machines (EVMs), highlighting the opposition’s battle towards the ability (shakti) of the state. “In Hinduism, there is a concept of ‘Shakti’. We are fighting against the might of the state. The crucial question is, what exactly does this power entail for us? It is evident that the essence and credibility of EVMs have been compromised for the benefit of the ruling authority (led by Modi). This is an undeniable reality. Not only EVMs, but every independent institution in the country, such as the ED, CBI, or Income Tax Department, has relinquished its autonomy to the central government,” Rahul said throughout his speech in Mumbai.
