“Humari Sarkar Janta ki sarkar hogi, Adani ki sarkar nahi [Ours will be a government of the people, not of Adani]” proclaimed Rahul Gandhi during his public address at Sendurwafa grounds in Sakoli, Bhandara, on Saturday evening. He criticised PM Narendra Modi, accusing him of leading the public astray from the nation’s true concerns.

Gandhi visited Sakoli to rally support for Dr Prashant Padole, the Congress candidate for Bhandara-Gondia, as well as other party candidates across Vidarbha. “The Modi government caters to billionaires,” emphasised Rahul Gandhi, highlighting that if the Congress were to win and form a government, it would prioritise the interests of the common people. “You’ve seen our manifesto... it wasn’t crafted behind closed doors. It emerged from conversations with the people, addressing the concerns of youth, women, seniors, the working class, and all citizens. While it bears the Congress stamp, it truly belongs to the people.”
