Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said after the Karnataka election victory his party will 바카라decimate바카라 the Bharatiya Janata Party in Telangana and other state polls, emphasising that it is not just the Congress party but the people of India who are going to defeat its hate-filled ideology.

Gandhi arrived in New York after visiting Washington and San Francisco and will address a community rally at the Javits Centre in Manhattan on Sunday.

바카라We have shown in Karnataka that we can decimate the BJP바카라We did not defeat them, we decimated them. We smashed them in Karnataka,바카라 Gandhi said at a dinner event organised here on Saturday by the Indian Overseas Congress-USA. 

He said in the Karnataka elections, the BJP 바카라tried everything in the book, they had the entire media, they had 10 times the amount of money we had, they had the government, they had the agency. They had everything and then we decimated them,바카라 Gandhi said.

바카라And I want you to know that we are going to decimate them in Telangana next,바카라 he said to loud cheers and applause from the gathering. 

바카라It will be hard to find the BJP in Telangana after this election.바카라 Election in the southern Indian state is scheduled to be held later this year.

Congress supporters, officials, party members and members of the diaspora gathered in large numbers at the community event that was also attended by New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Apart from the Telangana election, there are elections scheduled for 바카라Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh where we will do the same we did to them in Karnataka,바카라 Gandhi said to cheers and applause from the supporters.

바카라It is not just the Congress party that is going to defeat the BJP. It is the people of India, the people of Madhya Pradesh, the people of Telangana, the people of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh who are going to defeat the BJP,바카라 Gandhi said. 

He added that the reason for this is that 바카라India has understood that it cannot go forward with the type of hatred that the BJP is spreading in society.바카라

바카라That is what is going to happen in the next few states. And then after that in 2024 we will do the same바카라The opposition is united, we are all working together. It is an ideological battle. On one side, there is a divisive ideology of the BJP, the hate-filled ideology of the BJP. On the other side, there is the affectionate, loving ideology of the Congress party,바카라 he said.

He said in Karnataka, the BJP tried to polarise the election and create anger and hatred between communities. 

바카라Prime Minister himself tried it. Did it work?" Gandhi asked the audience and they replied, "No".

Gandhi said the people of Karnataka declared that the election is about prices, unemployment and corruption. 

Gandhi referred to his slogan made during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, during which he had said 바카라Nafrat ke bazaar mein mohabbat ki dukan kholenge.바카라

Adams said the 바카라New Delhi of America is right here in New York City."

바카라This community is one of the most highly-educated, one of the most highly business operated and owned,바카라 he said, adding that what is unique about America is that, 바카라we tell you never give up your homeland as you embrace your adopted land,바카라 amid a round of applause and cheers from those gathered.

바카라You are Indian-(dash)Americans. As you embrace America, do not remove the Indian part,바카라 the NYC Mayor said.

He added that India 바카라historically has given so much not only to the geographical boundaries of your country but what the Indian community historically has given to the globe is just remarkable and has yet to truly be reflected in historical proportions.

바카라All of the great Nobel peace prize winners have basically borrowed from the rich history of your society,바카라 he said, adding that they have drawn inspiration from the ancient Vedas and early writings.

Earlier in the day, Gandhi 바카라had a thought-provoking fireside chat바카라 with leading thinkers of New York at Roosevelt House, home of former US President, Franklin D Roosevelt.  

Gandhi said the members of the diaspora in the US are 바카라our ambassadors바카라 and have shown America and the rest of the world 바카라what it means to be Indian.바카라

He said there is a fight going on back home and a similar fight also in America about two different visions for India.    

바카라One vision which is our vision - accepts everybody, embraces everybody, respects everybody, loves everybody, and wants everybody to be a part of the future of our country regardless of their religion, their community, their caste, their language.

바카라We are fighting our friends in the BJP바카라they have a very limited view of our country,바카라 he said.

Addressing the audience and the diaspora at the event, Gandhi said: 바카라You respect other religions. You respect other cultures. You respect other people, you respect women. And that is the best way to fight the BJP, to live according to the ideology that we believe in,바카라 he said, adding that the fight is not difficult.
