When asked about Rahul Gandhi's "Votes Chori" movement, Jagan claimed there was a "hotline" between Chandrababu Naidu, Revanth Reddy, and Rahul Gandhi.
He accused the Congress leader of staying silent on alleged voter fraud in Andhra Pradesh.
From 2014 to now, Congress has remained in opposition for 11 years without once receiving Jagan's backing, even during his tenure as CM from 2019-2024. Not even Rahul Gandhi's national-level "Vote Chori" campaign drew public support from YSRCP.
Now, when facing political trouble, Jagan seeks Congress's help. Yet, his allegations about EVM tampering and Pulivendula poll irregularities have no substantial proof - the party hasn't even filed a Supreme Court petition on the matter.
If Jagan truly wants Rahul Gandhi's backing, political analysts suggest he must first align with the INDI Alliance. Without that, his expectations may be little more than wishful thinking.
