India may not see another election if Narendra Modi is re-elected as prime minister, Rajasthan Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot has claimed, suggesting that the country may go the way of China and Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was suggesting that polls will be held on the lines of those in China and Russia, where only one party rules and who becomes the president or the prime minister is decided beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His remarks come in the wake of a fierce battle emerging between the opposition Congress and the ruling BJP ahead of Lok Sabha elections starting April 11. The Congress and the BJP are locked in a war of words while trying to win this crucial election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking a swipe at what he termed Modi’s \u201cacting skills\u201d, the senior Congress leader said, \u201cIf Modi ji was in Bollywood, maybe he would have left a different mark in the country and abroad, with his mastery in acting, oratory skills and antics.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gehlot also said both democracy and the country were in danger under Modi, who he said would \u201cdo anything\u201d to get back to power. People felt he could even go to war with Pakistan to achieve this goal, the Congress leader said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dubbing Modi a \u201cgood actor\u201d, Gehlot said he could do much better in Bollywood and would have left his indelible mark in acting. He also alleged that he was a “master in marketing false promises”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Claiming that the “truth is on our side”, Gehlot said truth shall finally emerge victorious. He asserted that people in the country are far wiser as they can differentiate between falsehood and truth and public conscience will side with the truth, which is on their side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The veteran Congress leader also accused the prime minister of misusing Indian embassies in garnering the support of NRIs outside the country during his visits abroad. The reference was to the prime minister’s public events during his visits abroad.Gehlot alleged that they were organised with the active support of Indian embassies that drew widespread support from the NRI community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
