BJP is Ravan, Congress is Ram, says Revanth in Goa

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy likened the BJP to Ravan and the Congress to Ram, urging the people of Goa to vote for the Congress in the 2027 Assembly elections and warning that votes for smaller parties and Independents would benefit the BJP.

Addressing the Goy Rakhonn Yatra in Goa on Sunday, Mr. Revanth Reddy expressed confidence that the Congress would return to power in Goa, saying he sensed the same optimism that he had witnessed in Telangana ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections.

“The story in Indian politics has a Ram and a Ravan. Ravan is the BJP and Ram is the Congress. If you want to defeat Ravan, you have to support Ram,” he said, appealing to voters to choose the Congress’s Hand symbol.

He alleged that smaller parties were being propped up by the BJP to divide the opposition vote. “Any vote for them is a vote for the BJP,” he said, asking voters to think carefully before making their choice.
