Revanth Reddy likened the BJP to the mythological villain Ravan and appealed to voters in Goa to support the Congress, which he described as Ram.
Congress leader Revanth Reddy addressed a gathering in Goa, using the Hindu epic metaphor to contrast the two major parties. He described the Bharatiya Janata Party as ‘Ravan’, the antagonist in the Ramayana, and positioned the Indian National Congress as ‘Ram’, the protagonist.
The remarks were aimed at influencing the upcoming electoral decision of Goan voters, urging them to reject the BJP and cast their ballots for the Congress. Reddy emphasized that the choice would determine whether the state follows a path he portrayed as destructive or one aligned with moral values.
While no specific campaign promises were detailed, the speech underscored the symbolic framing of the contest, reflecting the broader national narrative where parties are often cast in mythological roles to mobilise support.
The event was covered by regional media, highlighting the cross‑state outreach of Congress leaders ahead of the elections.
