As per report sources say that gandhi told those attending the meeting that “crony capitalism and EVMs are people’s issues". Sources said “When only corporates benefit and the electoral process is flawed and alternatives are denied, how can it not be a people’s issue," he asked. The meeting was skipped by india bloc founder member, the trinamool congress (TMC). The party, which had skipped a meeting for the third time, told “We are clear that we want to take on the Modi government on people’s issues."
Meanwhile as per the TMC, issues such as crony capitalism and EVMs don’t resonate with people. “Look at the areas where gandhi has campaigned. If what he said had mattered to people, why did the congress lose?" While the congress has planned an ‘EVM Jagao Yatra’, on the lines of ‘Bharat Jodo’, and invited india bloc parties to join in, most of them have showed little interest.
Moreover some also asked that whether this yatra would travel through states where the congress won the polls. A few in the congress raised their voices meekly to say that while EVMs and industrialists was a concern, the party must look at people’s issues a hint the rahul gandhi coterie refused to take.
