Rahul Gandhi is the 49th president of the Indian National Congress, the party most closely associated with the Indian freedom struggle, and the primary Opposition party to Narendra Modi's BJP. His family predecessors in the role were Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi wasted no time in attacking Narendra Modi's government, saying "those in power" were shaped by the structures that keep India poor. While the Congress took India to the 21st century, Narendra Modi was taking her back to medieval times, the new INC president said. But the Congress' respect for all Indians extended to the BJP, Rahul Gandhi claimed.
