New Delhi, March 10: Union Minister Giriraj Singh launched a strong attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Singh accused Gandhi of behaving like an “urban naxal,” claiming that such tendencies would lead to the downfall of the Congress party. Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Singh compared Rahul Gandhi to Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor, labeling him as the “last prince of the fake Gandhi family.”
Singh described Rahul Gandhi as an “innocent child,” suggesting that no one understands what he says or thinks. He pointed out that historically, Gandhi reacts to every issue like an urban naxal and often changes his stance.
The minister further stated that no one has witnessed an opposition leader (LoP) like Rahul Gandhi. He noted that Gandhi often informs the House about topics for discussion but then leaves when it is time to debate those issues.
According to Singh, Rahul Gandhi only poses as an urban naxal and shows little interest in actual discussions. He initiates issues but exits the House when it is time for deliberation. Singh emphasized that participating in the House’s proceedings and the democratic process is the responsibility of the opposition leader, rather than merely seeking publicity or putting on a show.
He expressed hope that the Congress government could function under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, but doubted its feasibility given his nature. Singh reiterated that just as Bahadur Shah Zafar was the last Mughal emperor, Rahul Gandhi is the last LoP. He urged Gandhi to remain present in the House when raising issues for discussion.
