"Used To Say Daro Mat": BJP's Fear Jab At Rahul Gandhi On Raebareli Contest

Several BJP leaders described the Congress's decision as an admission that Rahul Gandhi can't win Amethi.

Shortly after the Congress announced Rahul Gandhi's switch from Amethi, where he lost the 2019 election, to his mother Sonia Gandhi's Raebareli seat, BJP leaders seized the chance to deride the Congress and the Gandhis.

Several BJP leaders described the Congress's decision as an admission that Rahul Gandhi can't win Amethi, where Smriti Irani is contesting again after winning in the last Lok Sabha election.

Union Minister Anurag Thakur used Rahul Gandhi's own words to mock him; the Congress leader has often said, "Daro Mat (don't be afraid)" to accuse the BJP government of using probe agencies to terrorise critics.
