What did Rahul Gandhi say?
Speaking at a public meeting in Mumbai, Rahul Gandhi said that. Prime Minister Narendra Modi “can't win elections without EVMs (Electronic Voting Machines). The word 'Shakti' is in Hinduism. We are fighting against a force. The question is, what is this power? Raja's soul is in 'EVM'. This is true. The king's soul is in the EVM. And every organization in the country has ED, CBI and Income Tax department. Recently, a senior leader of Maharashtra left the Congress party. Before that, the leader cried in front of my mother and said, 'Soniaji, I am ashamed that I do not have the strength to fight this power. I don't want to go to jail.' Thousands of people have been threatened in this way,” Rahul Gandhi also alleged at this time.
PM Narendra Modi made a fuss over the 'Shakti' statement
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had responded to Rahul Gandhi's 'Shakti' remark at a public meeting in Jagtial, Telangana. He had said, “Can one speak of the destruction of 'Shakti'? We dedicated the success of the Chandrayaan mission by naming the spot where Chandrayaan landed as 'Shiva Shakti'. Now there is a real battle between those who want to destroy 'Shakti' and those who worship 'Shakti'. The result of this match will be announced on June 4.”
