Aam Aadmi Party leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday reiterated his confidence that the Congress will win the Gujarat assembly elections, asserting that the AAP has created a buzz on the basis of advertisements and has no support on the ground.
The BJP-led government is facing a massive anti-incumbency in the state, Gandhi said at a press conference here.
To questions about his party’s prospects in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state, he responded, “Congress is a solid party in Gujarat. AAP has nothing on the ground.”
AAP has created a buzz based on its advertisements. The Congress party is a solid party in Gujarat. Congress party will win the election,” he said.
In Morbi, in which a bridge collapsed leaving more than 130 dead, Gandhi refused to comment, saying he did not want to politicize the tragedy.
A tie-up with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi was also ruled out by the former Congress president.
TRS and Congress cannot have any kind of relationship, he said.
According to Gandhi, the TRS stands for the exact opposite of what the Congress stands for.
We reject the corruption, the approach, and the attitude of TRS. They are diametrically opposed to what we do.
The Telangana chief minister was free to imagine that he was leading a national or even an international party if that is what he wanted. Gandhi spoke about TRS founder Chandrasekhar Rao’s move to rename the party the Bharath Rashtra Samithi.
