Hyderabad : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s recent statement during the Kashmir election campaign, in which he claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has “lost confidence” can only be described as baseless and utterly laughable. The truth is that 1.4 billion Indians have unshakeable trust and confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. On the other hand, it is Rahul Gandhi who has lost confidence in Indian democracy and has resorted to undermine and disrespect the key institutions of Indian democracy, including Parliament, the office of the Speaker, and even the country’s highest constitutional bodies, such as the Supreme Court and the Election Commission. His unfounded criticisms have also extended to questioning revered institutions like the Indian Armed forces, aligning himself with anti-national forces, and resorting to divisive politics by exploiting caste and religion for electoral gains. Levelling unsubstantiated allegations against the Prime Minister and the Union government has become a hallmark of his political rhetoric.
The electoral record speaks for itself. Even when combined, the number of seats the Congress party has won in the last three elections does not come close to what the BJP has achieved on its own. In the 2024 elections, the BJP won more seats than the entire opposition alliance combined. A party that once ruled India for 60 years has now been relegated to double digits for three consecutive elections. Yet, despite such resounding defeats, Rahul Gandhi insists on spreading misinformation and making hollow accusations against the Hon’ble Prime Minister.
The confidence of Prime Minister Modi is not something that requires Rahul Gandhi’s endorsement or certificate. The fact that Modi has been elected as Prime Minister for three consecutive terms, securing a majority in Parliament each time, is a testament to the immense trust that 1.4 billion Indians have placed in him. This overwhelming faith in Modi’s leadership is what continues to unite the nation behind him.

During the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world feared for India, it was Modi who took the mantle of responsibility, protecting the nation and further solidifying the trust the people have in him. By bringing together the scientific community, private research centres, and ensuring the development of life-saving vaccines, Prime Minister Modi not only saved countless lives but also earned global admiration
Throughout every crisis India has faced, it is the unwavering trust of the people that empowers Prime Minister Modi to make bold and decisive moves. His confidence transcends India’s borders, garnering respect and trust from the global community. During the Ukraine-Russia conflict, it was Modi’s leadership that facilitated the safe return of Indian citizens, earning praise for his strength and determination.
Whether at international forums like the G20, SCO, BRICS, or Quad summits, world leaders acknowledge that “with Modi, everything is possible.” This recognition of India’s growing stature under Modi’s leadership was further evident when the U.S. National Security Agency recently expressed confidence in India’s semiconductor manufacturing capabilities, a clear testament to Modi’s global credibility.
For Rahul Gandhi to claim that he has shaken Prime Minister Modi’s confidence is nothing short of absurd. No Indian, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, would find such statements believable. Rahul Gandhi, who failed to maintain his own party leadership after multiple electoral defeats and often chooses to retreat abroad, lacks any moral standing to comment on the confidence of a leader like Modi.
Rahul Gandhi’s alliance with questionable forces during the Jammu and Kashmir election campaign reflects his lack of faith in his own prospects. His ally, Omar Abdullah, is contesting from two seats, signalling a lack of confidence in even securing one. Even within the Congress party, confidence in Rahul Gandhi has eroded, especially after his repeated attempts to malign India’s reputation on foreign soil. His political acumen is questionable and he lacks any serious understanding of governance. If he did, he would first review the accomplishments of Prime Minister Modi over the past 100 days before making such reckless statements. After losing three consecutive Lok Sabha elections, it is Rahul Gandhi himself who appears to have lost confidence, resorting to divisive tactics that harm the country’s progress and unity.
In conclusion, Rahul Gandhi has no moral authority to criticize Prime Minister Modi, a leader who has worked selflessly and with utmost integrity to elevate India’s standing on the global stage. The people of India, who have consistently placed their faith in Modi, will undoubtedly deliver a fitting response to Rahul Gandhi’s continuous slander and divisive politics.
