Rahul Gandhi Germany Visit : Rahul Gandhi’s planned trip to Germany from December 15 to 20—the LoP in the Lok Sabha—became a new cause of contention between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday. “Bharat Badnaami Tour” is how the BJP described Gandhi’s tour, accusing the Congress leader of “spewing venom against India” via overseas venues. Gandhi will go to Germany to meet with German politicians and interact with the Indian diaspora.
Gandhi’s sister and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra retaliated against the BJP, questioning why they are criticizing the opposition leader while Prime Minister Narendra Modi spends “almost half of his working time outside the country.”
“Nearly half of Modi Ji’s working hours are spent abroad… Why are they questioning the opposition leader’s travels in the Lok Sabha?
“The BJP and PM Modi do not have an answer to the question raised by Rahul Gandhi yesterday,” Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said in support of Gandhi’s trip to Germany. The Leader of the Opposition asked a crucial question within the House: Why did the administration amend the legislation to allow for the removal of CCTV footage? The reasons for the BJP government’s refusal to provide the machine-readable voter list are contemporary concerns. There is a threat to democracy. The BJP’s only option is to mislead and damage Rahul Gandhi’s reputation when they are unable to respond to his inquiries. They will continue to work. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress will keep speaking out in favor of the Constitution’s defense and the safety of the average voter’s ballot.
Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and a member of parliament, will go to Germany from December 15 to December 20, according to Balwinder Singh, head of the Indian Overseas Congress in Germany. Sam Pitroda, the chairperson of the Indian Overseas Congress, will accompany him.
Shehzad Poonawalla, a BJP spokeswoman, said that Gandhi’s choice to go overseas once again demonstrates his “clear priorities” given that the Winter Parliament is in session till December 19. “LoP stands for ‘Leader of Paryatan/Partying,’ as Rahul Gandhi has once again shown. He is not a serious politician. He is in perpetual holiday mode, while everyone else is in work mode.
Gandhi often flees to other countries, the BJP leader said, noting that “he was on a jungle safari” during the Bihar elections while others were campaigning.
