Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi has said that if Prime Minister Modi comes into a direct debate with him, Modi’s political career will come to an end.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a direct public debate.
Meanwhile, during an “Ask me” interaction on Instagram, he was asked, “When the BJP is saying that a debate can be held in Parliament itself, why are you insisting on a public debate?”
In response, Rahul Gandhi said, “I am not being allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha. The microphone on my desk is switched off.
I was not allowed to speak about anything, whether it was the farm laws, vote theft, the China issue, General Naravane’s book, or the Epstein matter. I want a direct debate (one-on-one debate). I do not need a debate with long speeches.
Instead of long speeches, I prefer a direct debate in which the two leaders accuse each other.
Let Narendra Modi make allegations against me, and I will make allegations against him too. I am ready to debate with Modi on one side of a table and me on the other.
I have no objection if Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani or RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat is appointed as the moderator for this debate.
But after this live public debate, Prime Minister Modi will no longer be in the post of Prime Minister," he has said.

In this regard, Rahul Gandhi has also released a video on his X page. Speaking in it,
"I say it again. If he comes for a live debate with me, Prime Minister Modi's political career will come to an end. He knows this, and I know it too. Prime Minister Modi has been repeatedly calling me a 'traitor to the nation.'
Who is the real traitor to the nation? Who is really controlling whom? I am revealing this to the country. He also knows this truth. He is not slandering me now. Because he is afraid to come for a direct debate with me," he said.
मोदी जी, अपने ही गोदी मीडिया के दिवाली मिलन में भी टेलीप्रॉम्प्टर?

लोग आपके, मंच आपका, माहौल आपका - फिर भी स्क्रिप्ट चाहिए थी। लगता है दबाव में घबरा गए हैं।
ख़ैर, कोई बात नहीं। मुझसे बहस में भी टेलीप्रॉम्प्टर ले आइए, जज भी अपनी पसंद का बैठा लीजिए।

In that post as well, he said, "Did you need a teleprompter even at the Diwali event of the media outlets that support you?
No problem. When you come for a debate with me, bring a teleprompter too. Bring a moderator of your choice as well. Just come in person, that is enough. The whole country is eager to find out who the real traitor is!" he also noted.
Earlier, it is noteworthy that Rahul had said that he would need just 5 minutes to prove that Prime Minister Modi is a traitor.
