During an election rally in Serampore, Hooghly district, West Bengal, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly prioritizing the wealthy over the poor. He stated that while Modi presents himself as a patriot, he is effectively selling off the country. Gandhi claimed that both leaders are more interested in maintaining power than addressing the needs of the people. He described the current political landscape as a struggle between two ideologies: the Congress party's message of unity and brotherhood versus the perceived hatred and violence propagated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
