Leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including Union ministers, criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s address in Parliament, accusing him of undermining the concept of India by leading a union of states as a ‘kingdom.’
Pralhad Joshi, a Union minister, described Gandhi as ‘a misguided and dumb politician who claims India is not a nation and celebrates China.’ Rahul Gandhi, according to Joshi, compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to a monarch. …because of his dynasty, he ( Rahul Gandhi) became Congress leader and an MP, but Prime Minister Modi has gained the hearts of the people and is a democratically-elected popular leader.
Kiren Rijiju, a Union minister, urged that RG apologises immediately for his comments on the courts and the Election Commission (EC). ‘These are essential democratic institutions.’ In a tweet, he added, ‘Mr Rahul Gandhi should immediately apologise to the people, judiciary, and EC.’
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor asked the government to listen to Gandhi regarding the Chinese aggression.
