Rahul Gandhi Challenges Narendra Modi to One-on-One Public Debate
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has renewed his challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a one-on-one public debate, asserting that Modi would not remain Prime Minister after such an exchange. Gandhi proposed a direct format without lengthy speeches and suggested industrialist Gautam Adani or RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat as potential judges. He alleged being silenced in Parliament, citing instances where his microphone was switched off. The BJP responded that Parliament is the appropriate forum for debates and dismissed Gandhi's challenge.
