Public deserves to hear from their leaders directly: Rahul

Debate will help people understand our respective vision: Rahul

N. Ram acknowledged Rahul Gandhi’s response

Indian National Congress (INC) leader Rahul Gandhi has accepted the proposition by the Director of the Hindu Publishing Group, Retired Justices Madan B. Lokur and Ajit P. Shah for a public debate with Narendra Modi with 4 phases of elections yet to take place. “We agree that such a debate will help people understand our respective vision and enable them to make an informed choice. It is also critical to put to rest any unsubstantiated allegations attributed to our respective parties. As the principal parties fighting the election, the public deserve to hear from their leaders directly. Accordingly, either myself or the Congress President would be pleased to participate in such a debate,” Rahul Gandhi said in his response that he shared on  the microblogging site X (formerly known as Twitter). 

स्वस्थ लोकतंत्र के लिए प्रमुख दलों का एक मंच से अपना विज़न देश के समक्ष रखना एक सकारात्मक पहल होगी।

कांग्रेस इस पहल का स्वागत करती है और चर्चा का निमंत्रण स्वीकार करती है।

देश प्रधानमंत्री जी से भी इस संवाद में हिस्सा लेने की अपेक्षा करता है। pic.twitter.com/YMWWqzBRhE

Thank you once again for your initiative. I look forward to participating in a productive and historic debate(sic),” Rahul added. N. Ram acknowledged Rahul Gandhi’s response.
