After finishing rallies in all poll bound states amid rising COVID cases, Rahul Gandhi ‘cancels’ future rallies in Bengal where Congress has no chance

Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi held massive rallies in all poll bound states amid the rising coronavirus cases

After addressing crowded rallies across all poll bound states, Rahul Gandhi today took to social media to announce that he will not be addressing any future rallies in West Bengal.

Rahul Gandhi claimed that in view of COVID situation, he is suspending all public rallies in West Bengal with three phases of polling remaining. It is imperative to note here that Rahul Gandhi had continued to hold massive rallies across all poll-bound states, sometimes joined by his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, despite rising COVID cases.

On April 4, 2021, Rahul Gandhi addressed and boasted about massive rally in Kerala. Kerala is second worst affected state in terms of maximum COVID cases. On 4th April, Kerala had over 11 lakh total coronavirus cases, of which almost 28,000 were active cases. At the time of this report on 18th April, 2021, Kerala has 80,000 plus active cases.

Here is Rahul Gandhi addressing massive gathering in Tamil Nadu. On 28th March, 2021, Tamil Nadu had a total of 8,79,473 total cases of which 13,070 were active cases. As of today, there are 65,000 active cases in Tamil Nadu.

Here is Congress boasting about massive gathering of people biding farewell to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Assam.

Elections in Assam, Tamil Nadu and Assam along with Union Territory of Puducherry have already concluded.

In West Bengal, where Congress is in alliance with Left parties, does not quite stand a chance to form government. Many are predicting even fewer seats than the 2016 tally for Congress and its alliance in the West Bengal elections.

No, Mr Trump, India won’t have dinner with Pakistan just because you want it to, global powers no longer take orders from Washington DC

Trade is a bilateral exercise. India is an economic superpower with a 1.4 billion population. Trade with India is not a benevolence that USA shows to India; USA trades with India because it brings benefits. For Trump to pretend he used 'trade' as leverage to make India agree to compromise on its national security and stop its military operation against Pakistan is profoundly stupid.
