Kolkata: Amid the West Bengal Assembly elections, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the BJP, TMC and the Left parties. Addressing a rally in Raiganj, he took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, "Have you seen his face these days? He can't look me in the eye."

Rahul Gandhi alleged that the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are working together to undermine democracy in the country. He said that efforts are being made to dismantle the Constitution given by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, and Jawaharlal Nehru.

The Congress leader also attacked the Trinamool Congress and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He said the state government has failed to provide employment. Rahul claimed that 8.4 million youth in Bengal have applied for unemployment allowance, while the government only talks about 500,000 jobs.

He alleged that the TMC's policies had paved the way for the BJP in the state. Rahul Gandhi said that if the state government had acted properly, the BJP's presence in Bengal would not have been so strong.

During the rally, Rahul Gandhi appealed for votes in support of the Congress, saying that on one hand there is the BJP's "politics of hate," and on the other hand there are the TMC's failures. In such a situation, only the Congress can emerge as a better option for the people.

He started his speech in the name of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and said that protection of the Constitution and democracy is the biggest priority.
