India Votes 2024 takes a look at #NDA vs #INDIA - the two main alliances that are battling each other for the 543 seats up for grabs in the Indian Parliament. Leading one of the alliances is #RahulGandhi. He has been campaigning in #Wayanad and across the country in a bid to pull off an upset win over #NarendraModi’s BJP.

  • @libshastra
    Before anyone claims the reporter is biased towards the Congress, that’s kind of her job - she’s a beat reporter, her beat is The Congress party.
  • @pmt7483
    How can u call it "INDIA Alliance" when the last word of the acronym 'A' itself stands for Alliance. INDI 'A'lliance is the right word.
  • @libshastra
    Even left leaning Social media influencer came out calling the Congress party’s manifesto as a disaster.
  • @rmt7833
    Have anyone noticed they are using REGIME instead of GOVERNMENT for a democratically elected govt. 😢
  • @challenger539
    In my state West Bengal there is no INDIA alliance.
  • @nirmalyabhattacharya4001
    So funny how nobody in the world cares about Mallikarjun Kharge, who is actually a far better politician. Surname matters so much even to ABC 😂😂😂
  • @1life_Only
    Freebies will take the Indian economy down to dust. Must be limited to the ones really need vs current 800 million people. Same goes for reservations, only to the very needy vs people/families already massively benefited.
  • @Chillbaba-1990
    Stats and everything is not what make people like modi. Its his intent to tackle most difficult cases and humility that endears him. Workoholic and fearless.
  • @pmt7483
    Well the congress said they will give Rs. 1 lakh to each household and this would eradicate poverty from India in one go. On the other hand BJP promised free and subsidised ration to poor household. To those who think the 1st option is better, need to go back to their economics classes and understand why giving every person Rs.1 Lakh will not solve any challenge but will definitely shoot up inflation. Lack of economic Prudence by Congress is the reason why i vote for BJP. Capitalism is yhe solution to poverty not untargeted freebies.

    3:11 professor sahab does not know ground status. People have not accepted him as a leader. He is not even contesting from his family seat amethi. And from wayanad his alliance members are contesting against him.
  • @tarun-sam
    No they can’t. I just saved your time😂
  • @gf1227
    Seems like a PR video for Rahul Gandhi and congress
  • @drsharma8644
    If u distribute 1 lakh, we will again reach from 5th to 11 th largest economy😂
  • @AbcXyz-dd8yo
    All Indians know whom to vote, for the development of the country.
