The political controversy surrounding Rahul Gandhi’s recent mimicry of Prime Minister Narendra Modi escalated on Monday. Congress leader Supriya Shrinate urged the BJP to embrace satire, while Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis suggested Gandhi should consider a career in stand-up comedy instead of politics. This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between the two parties as they navigate a charged political landscape.
“The irony writes itself. “I hadn’t imagined that a party which was in power for nearly six decades would turn into such a circus that is busy entertaining their own shrunken supporters. “Congress party has become a party of comedians and Jokers! They are out forever…. He also questioned why similar concerns were not raised when the mothers of Rahul Gandhi and other leaders were allegedly insulted.
Taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the Congress leader should leave the party and pursue comedy. Asked about allegations that Gandhi had mocked Modi during the ‘Chhatron ki Gunj’ programme in Indore a day earlier, Fadnavis said, “The way Rahul Gandhi is doing mimicry, I feel he should quit the party and become a stand-up comedian”. The need to come on stage every now and then just to drag Prime Minister Modi ji’s name into cheap political theatre never fails to amaze me,” Goyal said, asking the former Congress president to “look in the mirror”. Union minister Kiren Rijiju said he had not expected a party that had been in power for nearly six decades to turn into a “circus”. Rijiju said Indians were proud that Prime Minister Modi was the “most popular” elected leader in the world. RIP,” he said. Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel defended the party and said every mother deserved respect.
