Rahul Gandhi, his mother Sonia, and his sister Priyanka Vadra’s family did not vote for Congress in Lok Sabha General Elections 2024!! Yes, you read it right, the Gandhi parivaar did not choose INC on the EVM today! Also Arvind Kejriwal did not vote for AAP! How do we know? Elementary dear Watson!!! Let’s discuss this true yet bizzare tale!
Gandhi Parivaar Did Not Choose Congress?!
In a political twist that reads like a sitcom plot rather than a serious electoral event, the prestigious New Delhi Lok Sabha seat, home to Lutyens’ Delhi, witnessed a historic first: the lack of a Congress Candidate!!! Thus, the Gandhi family was unable to vote for the Congress!!! Many smart voters ask ‘If you did not, why should we?’?!
The core family that sits in the seat of power at the very heart of the Indian National Congress did not vote for their party.
Netizens are tickled pink imagining the pain Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi wouldprobably felt standing at the polling booth and having to choose between the BJP’s Bansuri Swaraj and AAP’s Somnath Bharti.
There was no Haath to change their Halaat!!!
Why? All thanks to an absurd 3-4 seat-sharing deal with the AAP, where AAP will feild candidaters on 4 seats and INC on 3! Therefore, as Delhi buzzed with the excitement of the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections, the Nehru-Gandhi clan and the Gandhi-Vadra family dutifully ventured out to cast their votes. For the first time in Bharat’s electoral history, the Gandhis found themselves without a Congress candidate to support in their backyard.
Rahul Gandhi Voting Predicament
In Rahul Gandhi‘s homeground, no Congress candidate asked for votes. The Congress symbol was notably absent at his polling booth. The unfortunate seat-sharing of INC and AAP has Congress fielding AAP’s Somnath Bharti in the New Delhi constituency. Thus, Rahul Baba had to decide whether to support a hated political rival or an untrustworthy alliance partner.
After casting his vote, Rahul took to social media platform X, sharing a photo with Sonia Gandhi. With their fingers inked they have marked this moment in time when the Gandhis could not support the Congress with their votes!!! Rahul Gandhi’s tweet on X is symbollic valiant death of his party, which starts with the fact that he and his mother had just voted for anything but their own party.
Kejriwal’s Cozy Quandary
Meanwhile, in the Sheesh Mahal, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal also found himself in a similarly laughable predicament. His grand residence, seeped in LiquorGate money, in Civil Lines falls within the Chandni Chowk constituency. Here, the battle was between BJP’s Praveen Khandelwal and Congress’s Jai Prakash Agarwal. Thanks to the AAP-INC mindblowing seat-sharing agreement, the Kejriwal parivaar had to choose between his uncomfortable bedfellows in Congress or the outright adversaries in the BJP. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a very hard place!
The Big, Ironic Question
Netizens are proudly showing off their inked fingers as badges of honor. The same was true for Yuvaraaj Rahul Gandhi and Tihar resident Kejriwal. But the irony is they could not vote for their own parties and expect Bharat’s electors to do so!!! Why should the voters be expected to cast their votes for INC or AAP when even the stalwarts of these parties had to vote for someone else?
In conclusion, dear voters, ponder this: If the very leaders of Congress did not vote for their party, why should you? As you head to the polls, consider the alliances, the ironies, and the absurdities of this election season. The fight for existence has forced mud-slingers like AAP and INC to join hands and vote for each other. They ask for votes, not in the name of progress or development. Instead, they ask for a vote in the name of reservations, caste census, and stay-out-jail cards!! Therefore, Netizens and voters must take a moment to appreciate this political theater that is Indian democracy.
The choice of vote is always yours, Bharat, vote wisely!!!
