India News | When Rain Gods Decide...NCP Recalls Pawar Rally After Rahul's Rain-drenched Speech in Mysuru

New Delhi, Oct 2 (PTI) NCP on Sunday drew parallels between Sharad Pawar's rain-drenched speech during a bypoll campaign in 2019 and Rahul Gandhi's address amid showers in Mysuru.

"'Time has Proved and Time will Prove'. When the Rain Gods decide to Bless you, there will soon be a Storm in the Opposition Camp," NCP national spokesman Clyde Crasto said in a tweet, referring to Gandhi's speech at a rally in Mysuru during his ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Pawar had addressed the rally on October 18, 2019, canvassing for NCP candidate Shriniwas Patil for the bypoll, necessitated due to the resignation of NCP member Udayanraje Bhosale, who had joined the BJP.

Bhosale contested the bypoll as a BJP candidate and Patil defeated him by a margin of over 87,000 votes.

NCP leaders had credited the victory to Pawar, whose rally in pouring rain in Satara was much-talked about in the elections.
