Can Rahul Gandhi shake off his ‘Princeling’ status to win the election? | India Votes 2024

#RahulGandhi comes from a long line of political royalty in India and is often mocked as a ‘princeling’. Can he shake off that reputation and follow his father, grandmother and great-grandfather to become #India’s next Prime Minister? In a pitch for votes, the 53-year-old completed a cross-country march to promote the Indian National Congress’ election promises.

INDIA VOTES 2024, presented by the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) is a six-episode series that takes you on an insightful journey through the heart of Indian democracy. While the Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi is seeking a third term, a brand new Coalition is on the bloc – the I.N.D.I.A (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) featuring key opposition leaders such as Congress scion #RahulGandhi, TMC leader #MamataBanerjee, and AAP leader #Arvind Kejriwal among many others.

INDIA VOTES 2024 goes beyond the headline and daily coverage to explain critical topics and issues facing Indian voters as they participate in the elections of the world’s largest democracy.

There is a huge difference between PM material and MEME material 😢

[rahuldahiya]

He is one of the reason my family is gonna vote bjp 😂

[GuruKhatri]

This is going to be the third election he loses. He needs to get the message and step down.

[neo]

Now foreign media is trying to launch Ragul baba for the nth time 😂😂

[housednb]

Single man responsible for crippling opposition since decade, not satisfied with BJP but alternative is 💀💀☠️

[kathiravanpandian]

He is a novice politician, His only agenda is Hate Modi remove him, He will say Love people as Lip service, He don't have understanding on current affairs, always bluffs, And he and his family believes theu are the rulers of country, No democracy in there party to even think or whisper a word about new PM Candidate other this Pappu(also rahul foe his childish behaviours). Then how these guys will win, All thier policy giving money to women, unemployed, but then how will National infra grow.

[chukka]

Why is Australian media glorifying Rahul Gandhi? In all their episodes related to indian elections, they mainly focused on glorifying him

[RahulKumar-]

People can't connect with him like they do with modi he is improving but not yet pm material

[susilkumar]

He is comedian in Indiana politics. He never become pm of India

[martin]

This is 5th or 6th launch 😂 he also lost his ancestral seat in amethi.
He is just the most non serious person who spend most of time in Bangkok, italy and other parts of Europe.

[SudhanshuSK]

BJP tell us to vote for BJP, Rahul Gandhi force us to vote for BJP

[saav]

It is clearly showing an biased view guys don’t make it so oblivious

[dalha]

Hahahah. Rahul Gandhi is good for foreign media and far far leftist wing. But certain not good for India. He has no idea of India. He talks more like foreign journalist about India. You what’s that.

[robinparker]

Imagine George W Bush, but without the charisma or the bare minimum intelligence. That's Rahul Gandhi in a nutshell.

[ऋषभx]

If this person ever becomes leader of this country, I will have to leave India. The India story will be over. This is why he's the darling of western media.

[rahilsanjayjain]

I don't know whether he will win or not but he is absolute meme material...😂

[surapaneniarunsai]

I've watched all your videos, and it's worth noting that the correct term is 'I.N.D.I Alliance, ' not 'INDIA Alliance.' Since 'Alliance' is already part of the acronym, there's no need to repeat it.

[dr.amitabhash]

He is just a joker not a PM material 😂😂

[JP-bdkm]

It's look like propaganda film for joker Rahul. 😂😂😂

[suprajachiluveru]

He is a common man leader who could understand poor man better than opposite leader
