Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, reiterating his challenge that he should be allowed to hold a direct debate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleged that all the evidence for the accusations he has made against Modi is on his mobile phone, and that the Prime Minister has been continuously eavesdropping on him.
He also said that if he were to hold a one-on-one face-to-face debate with Modi, it would bring an end to his political career.
During an “Ask Me” session on Instagram, Rahul was asked why he insists on holding a public debate, given that the BJP has said it is ready to discuss all issues in Parliament.
In response, Rahul Gandhi said, “I was not allowed to speak about the farm laws, vote theft, the special intensive revision of the voters’ list, the China issue, General Naravane’s book, and the Epstein issue.
I want a direct debate, one person against another. I do not want a long-winded discussion. Let Prime Minister Modi make allegations against me. Likewise, I will make allegations against him. Let him come for a debate. Let Narendra Modi sit on one side; I will sit 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 the truth is, if he debates with me face to face, Narendra Modi will not be able to continue as Prime Minister.
All the evidence for the allegations I have made against Prime Minister Modi is on my mobile phone. The Prime Minister is tapping it.
If he holds a face-to-face debate with me, it will be proven who is being controlled by foreign powers and who is acting against the nation. He said that the details related to that are on my mobile phone.
Rahul Gandhi has repeatedly challenged Prime Minister Modi to a direct debate. He has already said that in that debate, Prime Minister Modi can be proven a “traitor” in just 5 minutes.

Rahul Gandhi is a liar: BJP counterattack
New Delhi, Nov. 13: The BJP has criticized opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, saying that he makes absurd allegations without any evidence and has made a habit of lying.
In an interview given to PTI news agency in Delhi on Friday, BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha further said:
Every day, Rahul makes some absurd allegation without any evidence. He has no proof for his accusations. Unable to substantiate the allegation, he moves on to some other issue within a few days. This is his politics. Telling lies is his habit, he said.
Pointing out Rahul Gandhi’s earlier statement that some senior officials in the central government share information with him, Tuhin Sinha asked how one can reconcile what he said earlier with the phone-tapping allegation he has now made.
Either Rahul Gandhi’s earlier allegation must be true, or the allegation he is making now must be true. But the truth is that everything he says is false. He cannot go a single day without spreading a new lie or misinformation.
Last month, Rahul Gandhi met President Droupadi Murmu. At that time, the President asked him to provide evidence for the allegations Rahul Gandhi had made regarding vote theft. However, he did not submit any evidence.
Rahul Gandhi should behave with maturity. If he feels as though he is seeing or hearing something that does not really exist, he should consult qualified doctors, he said.
