    Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Live Updates: BJP slams Rahul Gandhi's candidature from Raebareli

    On Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's candidature from Raebareli, BJP national spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill said, "Rahul Gandhi has forgotten his own slogan-'Daro Mat' and ran away from Amethi.

Rahul Gandhi will be remembered as that General who left the battlefield, left his soldiers, and escaped from the very back door rather than leading from the front...Rahul Gandhi's escape from Amethi, Priyanka Gandhi's Vadra's decision not to contest the election shows that the entire Congress campaign is shivering, collapsing and shaking, and is all set to finish off at a very fast pace."
