New Delhi. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi addressed the 'Bharat Summit' in Hyderabad, Telangana on Saturday. During this, he has given a big statement regarding the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. He said that in 2014 we saw a completely different kind of election. Something we had never seen before. Huge amounts of money were pumped into the political system. The electoral system, which often saw tough contests and alliances, suddenly changed completely. If I say that the opposition was in shock, it would not be wrong. This crisis continued in Indian politics for a decade. And then suddenly, we found out what was really going on. We understood it and proved it without any doubt that democracy was destroyed in India in 2014.

The Congress leader said that I can tell you right now with full confidence that we are going to defeat Prime Minister Narendra Modi and remove him from power. You can also see it. You can see it on our roads, you can see it in Delhi. You can also see the fear visible on the faces of PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. This has now been decided.
'Our working methods are no longer effective'
Rahul Gandhi said that we found that our ways of working were no longer effective. The mediums through which we earlier used to convey our message to the people like media, press conferences, interviews and public meetings were not working. We were not getting support from anyone. Institutions were taken away from us. But we understood that no matter how many institutions are under the control of fascist forces and how much money they have, the direct connection with the people of India is the most powerful of all.
Issue of deducting votes from voter list

On the issue of SIR, Rahul Gandhi said that the 14 crore people who voted in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, a few months ago, were either declared as voters who do not exist or were refused to be considered as voters. If the Election Commission has declared 14 crore voters illegal and ineligible to vote, then how can that election be valid? We have the example of Maharashtra. The first Lok Sabha elections were held there, in which our alliance fought and won. We were completely defeated in the elections held three months later. When we started examining the data, we found out that we had got almost the same number of votes in both the elections. Within three months, 70 lakh new voters were added and all those 70 lakh voters voted for BJP. This is why BJP won the elections.
What did Rahul Gandhi say about Adani?
Rahul Gandhi said that today there is a businessman in this country, who was at 600th position in the list of the richest people in the world before BJP came to power. A few months ago he became the second richest person in the world. How did he become so rich? Because of the nexus of politics and business. The distance between business and politics, between Adani and PM Modi has completely closed. Now this difference no longer exists. Its result is also visible in political funding. This is also visible in the amount of assets in Adani's possession. The result is that BJP's wealth increased 11 times in a decade.
