The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has sharply criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent comments mocking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy. The BJP accused Gandhi of using “uncultured and indecent” language, arguing that his remarks undermine the dignity associated with the role of the Leader of the Opposition. This exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between the two political parties regarding national diplomacy and leadership standards.
The ruling party’s attack came after Gandhi, while addressing the Rachnatmak Congress National Convention on Thursday, made light of PM Modi’s handling of foreign policy, which he claimed was all about hugging leaders. “Rahul Gandhi, when will you grow up? Running India requires mature leadership, not amateur dramatics. Gandhi mocked the Prime Minister’s public embraces with foreign leaders and staged a hug with Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit on stage to demonstrate what he termed as the PM’s understanding of foreign policy While attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign policy. Gandhi implied that the Prime Minister oversimplifies diplomacy by focusing on symbolic gestures like hugging foreign leaders. “Rahul Gandhi appears to be mentally frustrated. His conduct has crossed all limits of decency. “Vulgar jokes targeting PM Narendra Modi ji and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, with Congress leaders laughing along, are deeply disgraceful. This is a new low in public discourse.
Calling a democratically elected government ‘jokers and clowns’ proves you are out of your depth,” Joshi said. If Sonia Gandhi does not intervene and ensure that he receives appropriate help, the situation could become serious,” the minister said. “The kind of uncultured, obscene, and indecent language used by Rahul Gandhi against Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji is completely contrary to the dignity of a constitutional position like that of the Leader of the Opposition,” she said. Strongly condemn it,” he said in a post on X.
