Anti-incumbency does not exist in Saddam Husseins Iraq or North Korea: Rahul Gandhi asks why it disappears for PM Modi and BJP

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi raised concerns about the absence of anti-incumbency against the BJP. He referenced historical trends where political resistance typically arises over time in democracies. Gandhi highlighted various states previously known for political swings that now show no anti-incumbency. He contrasted this with past experiences of leaders like Indira Gandhi, who faced significant political pushback. This phenomenon has become a critical question for the Congress party moving forward.
