Lok Sabha Elections 2024: PM Modi Worried About Akhilesh Yadav, Takes a Dig at Him

During a political event in Rae Bareli, Bhupesh Baghel, former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, made remarks suggesting Rahul Gandhi's potential candidacy for Prime Minister. This prompted Prime Minister Modi to take a swipe at Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav.

Expressing concern over Akhilesh Yadav's aspirations, PM Modi remarked, "See the height of their dreams, a Congress leader says people of Rae Bareli will elect the Prime Minister. The heart of the Samajwadi prince must have shattered upon hearing this. Tears may not have flowed, but all the desires of the heart did.

When a Congress leader proposed Rahul Gandhi for the Prime Minister's post, it piqued the interest of Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav. However, when pressed for a direct response during a press conference, the SP chief skillfully evaded, stating they wouldn't divulge their strategy. This strategic ambiguity has left many wondering about their next move.

Opposition parties, in a bid to challenge the BJP, have united under the India Alliance. However, they have yet to unveil their trump card candidate for the Prime Minister's post. They assert that post-election, all parties will huddle to decide on the Prime Ministerial candidate. This stance has left the BJP and the nation in anticipation.
