The Prime Minister and the BJP had accused Mr Gandhi and the opposition, including the Congress-led India alliance, of wanting to destroy ‘Shakti’, and extended the remarks to “…denying the existence of Lord Ram”. “I accept their challenge. I will sacrifice my life,” the Prime Minister said in Jagtial, Telangana.
Mr Gandhi then responded to Prime Minister Modi, accusing him of “always trying to change the meaning of my words by twisting them in some way or the other” and saying that he had talked about a “power (or ‘shakti’)”. which has taken over the institutions including media, industry and the entire constitutional structure of India”.
Rahul Gandhi said “…he (PM Modi) knows that I have spoken a deep truth. The power that I mentioned, the power that we are fighting… Modiji is the mask of that power. It is a power that has destroyed institutions. Have captured.” ..The Central Bureau of Investigation, Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax Department, Election Commission, media and the entire constitutional structure of India,” they are misusing.

And that is why, whenever I raise my voice against him, Modiji gets upset and Get angry,” Rahul Gandhi was addressing the concluding public meeting of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Mumbai.

I do not want to go to jail. Wanted.’ ,
