New Delhi : The BJP on Wednesday took a jab at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on his upcoming trip to Germany amid the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament. The ruling party mocked Gandhi as the “leader of partying”, prompting a reaction from Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Rahul Gandhi will embark on a trip to Berlin from Dec 15 to 20, during which he is expected to meet German government officials and engage with the Indian diaspora.
He also criticised Congress leaders for resorting to silly whataboutery in defence and questioned Rahul Gandhi’s agenda. Bharat Badnami again? Where was he during the Bihar elections? Just another vacay. Normal people take vacations between work sessions—this man seems to work between two vacation sessions, he added. Modi ji spends almost half of his working time outside the country. Why are they raising questions about the Leader of the Opposition’s visit?” she told reporters outside Parliament.
Poonawala’s mockery of Rahul Gandhi came a day after the latter’s no-holds-barred attack against the Centre during a discussion on electoral reforms in the Lok Sabha. The Congress MP accused the BJP and the Election Commission of “colluding to destroy” India’s democracy and “rob people of their voice. He claimed the BJP is “directing and using” the Election Commission to undermine democratic processes.
Gandhi suggested several measures, including providing machine-readable voter lists to all parties a month before elections, reversing the law that allows CCTV footage to be destroyed after 45 days, giving parties access to EVMs, and amending the law that lets election commissioners act without accountability.
