NEW DELHI: With the tailwind of victory over BJP in the Hindi heartland, Congress president Rahul Gandhi resumed his campaign-style attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi by saying that there was a popular perception of his being “corrupt”, adding that the opposition would defeat BJP in 2019 elections.Addressing the media at the party headquarters, an elated Rahul said the results were a “clear message” to the Modi government that people were not happy with its performance and it was time for a change. He added the opposition was strongly united and will fight together in 2019 polls.Rahul said Modi had squandered the massive mandate of 2014 by refusing to listen to the “heartbeat of the country”. Flanked by party veterans Ahmed Patel and Anand Sharma , Rahul slammed BJP and Modi for being “arrogant”, citing “Congress mukt” slogan as evidence. He said among the many things he has learnt since 2014 is “humility”.“The BJP has a certain ideology and we will fight against it. We have won this election, we will also win in 2019. However, we do not want to get rid of anyone, ‘hum kisi ko mukt nahi karna chahte’,” he said. He said besides corruption, people were unhappy with the PM’s decisions like demonetisation and those pertaining to farmers and youth.
