Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on August 9 has launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government while addressing the Lok Sabha.
Rahul Gandhi Launches Scathing Attack On BJP-Led Government
Beginning his speech on the no-confidence motion, Rahul Gandhi asked BJP leaders not to be scared as his speech was not on the Adani issue.
While addressing the House, Gandhi said, “Speaker Sir, first of all, I would like to thank you for reinstating me as an MP of the Lok Sabha. When I spoke the last time, perhaps I caused you trouble because I focused on Adani. Maybe your senior leader was pained. That pain might have had an impact on you as well. I apologize to you for that. But I spoke the truth. Today, my friends in BJP need not be scared because my speech is not on Adani.”
Gandhi also took a dig at the BJP government for their handling of the ongoing ethnic clashes in Manipur. He accused the party for splitting the state into two parts.
“You have murdered the voice of India, which means you have murdered ‘Bharat Mata’ in Manipur. My mother is sitting here. The other mother, ‘Bharat Mata’, you killed in Manipur. I used the word ‘Manipur’ but the truth is that Manipur does not remain anymore. You have divided Manipur into two. You have divided and broken Manipur,” the Congress leader said.
