The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday criticised Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, suggesting that he should also take on the role of a “stand-up comedian” at his ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ events.
The remarks came amid a political controversy after a comedian allegedly mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi while sharing the stage with Gandhi at an event in Indore. Speaking to reporters, Union Minister of State Arjun Ram Meghwal accused the Congress leader of making false statements and insulting Indian culture.
“He misleads students and attempts to spread anarchy,” the Law Minister alleged.
He has lost more than a hundred elections. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis took a dig at the LoP, saying: “Rahul Gandhi was doing mimicry. At least he would have a job as a stand-up comedian. Meanwhile, BJP leader Prakash Javadekar accused Congress party of crossing all limits of decency. One can understand the situation. No one is willing to come to listen to Rahul Gandhi. BJP leader Virendra Sachdeva echoed similar views, saying: “Rahul Gandhi organises events and programmes. He does not understand political issues or the pulse of society. He functions like an event company, organises a programme and leaves.
Because he has rendered his party unemployed, i believe he should leave the party and become a stand-up comedian.
“Rahul Gandhi spends his time in every meeting abusing PM Modi, but he doesn’t realise that the more he abuses him, the more PM Modi’s votes will increase, and people’s sympathy for him also increases…The Congress is behaving shamelessly, and there is no one to tell them this,” he said. Speaking to IANS, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said, “There is a ‘Jhooth Ki Goonj’ across the country.
