Rahul Gandhi only alternative to Modi in 2019 Lok Sabha polls, says Congress

Congress President Rahul Gandhi is the only alternative to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said on Sunday adding that “unity of Opposition” will bring forth a “wave of change" in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Surjewala said changing clothes six times a day is Modi’s model wherein ‘Rahul model’ focuses on simplicity and clarity.

"Today there are two models...There is a 'Modi model' wherein he changes his clothes six times, giving more credence to his clothing than state affairs. The other is the 'Rahul model' where the focus is on simplicity and clarity," Congress party’s media head told PTI in an Interview.

"Rahul Gandhi is the only alternative to Modi. The country wants to see him as the next prime minister," he added.

Surjewala also highlighted the growing discontent among BJP’s alliance partners in the NDA and said the Congress party is forging the unity of Opposition parties and "2019 Lok Sabha polls will bring forth a wave of change".

Surjewala was also confident of coming back to power in Karnataka and said the victory in Rajasthan bypolls was just a trailer.

“The party will win with huge margins in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and other poll-bound states," he added.
