Speaking at an election campaign rally in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, the Union Minister also said that the party that once dominated Indian politics, leading governments in most states, is now limited to just a few smaller states.

"In the past, Congress used to dominate Indian politics, with their party leading the government in most states. However, today, Congress only governs in a few small states. This decline has led me to wonder why it's happening. After much thought, I have concluded that if one were to ask me who the best finisher in Indian politics is, I would say it is Rahul Gandhi - just as Dhoni is the best finisher in cricket. This is the reason several leaders have left Congress," he said.
