BJP is Ravan, Congress is Ram, says Revanth in Goa
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy campaigned in Goa, framing the upcoming 2027 assembly elections as a battle between the Congress and the BJP. He accused the BJP of fostering drug networks and misusing central agencies to weaken the opposition.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing political polarization in India and the strategic efforts of opposition parties to consolidate votes against the ruling BJP.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy likened the BJP to Ravan and the Congress to Ram, urging the people of Goa to vote for the Congress in the 2027 Assembly elections and warning that votes for smaller parties and Independents would benefit the BJP.
Addressing the Goy Rakhonn Yatra in Goa on Sunday, Mr. Revanth Reddy expressed confidence that the Congress would return to power in Goa, saying he sensed the same optimism that he had witnessed in Telangana ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections.
“The story in Indian politics has a Ram and a Ravan. Ravan is the BJP and Ram is the Congress. If you want to defeat Ravan, you have to support Ram,” he said, appealing to voters to choose the Congress’s Hand symbol.
