Rahul Gandhi, descendant of Nehru and Indira Gandhi and the twelfth opposition leader in Lok Sabha (India’s lower house of Parliament), appealed to Georgetown’s Indian-American community on Monday, September 9. He spoke about the June 4 election and the most pressing issues on his agenda. Gandhi sees the recent elections as a sign that India is ready for change.

Although Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected 300 seats and a supermajority for the BJP, they received only 240 seats. Gandhi nonetheless accused the BJP of controlling the election: “In a fair election [the BJP] wouldn’t win even 240 seats.” While Gandhi said he didn’t have any personal hatred toward…

Five things Rahul Gandhi needs to do in 2025 to build on his popularity Rahul Gandhi’s evolution as Leader of Opposition (LoP) has been remarkable. He made a serious attempt to establish a link between the Congress party and civil society. The Bharat Jodo Yatras were the most important political outcome of this initiative and played a crucial role before the Lok Sabha elections. The Congress manifesto managed to incorporate many of the issues which Gandhi and his fellow travellers discovered in those yatras. This creative process transformed the party manifesto into one of the most powerful political documents of this decade. Even BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, recognised the potential of the Congress manifesto to reorient BJP’s electoral campaign. The CSDS-Lokniti pre-poll survey 2024 had also shown that Gandhi’s popularity as a serious challenger increased in this period. Around 27 per cent respondents across India claimed that they would like to see him as the next PM. Although Modi was the most preferred face for PM (47 per cent), one cannot underestimate the growing popularity of Gandhi. Political developments post the Lok Sabha elections were, however,…

'Resistance works': What Rahul Gandhi needs to do to keep his tryst ... Published Jun 13, 2026 | 6:30 PM⚊Updated Jun 13, 2026 | 6:30 PM Rahul Gandhi seen here with Sarthak Siddhant, one of the four who exposed the CBSE OSM flaws. Courtesy: X/@@RahulGandhi Synopsis:There are many reasons why Rahul Gandhi has the potential to be the central point of the “resistance movement”. A vital transformation, however, remains in converting the resistance to victory. Rahul Gandhi is the best example of the theory that even the most powerful, dictatorial and crooked power structure cannot do anything to a person who has nothing to fear. Looking at it from this prism, the speech by the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha at a meeting of the INDIA alliance leaders in New Delhi on June 8 is profound in many ways. It is early to liken his call to the Jayaprakash Narayan movement post the Emergency in 1970s, but the signs of a resistance struggle going forward are unmistakable. And, Rahul is, perhaps for the first time, showing signs of emerging as the rallying point for anti-BJP voters and parties alike. More than the parties, for the voters. The strongest part ofRahul’s June 8 speechwas h…
