Rahul plotting to overthrow govt, says Patra
NEW DELHI: The BJP on Sunday criticised Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi while presenting what it described as a “report card” on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent foreign visits.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in New Delhi, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Prime Minister’s visits had strengthened India’s position globally, while targeting Gandhi over his absence from the country.
Citing remarks by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, Patra said international leaders had acknowledged policies and developments under Modi’s leadership. "Just think what New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said. And the Congress in India refuses to accept it. I think our Opposition should also learn something," he said.
Referring to the Prime Minister’s visits to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand, Patra said, "The Prime Minister went on a (foreign) tour and Rahul Gandhi too. The Prime Minister returned having brought victory to the nation, while Rahul Gandhi is surely conspiring behind closed doors."
He further alleged, “Gandhi is likely ‘plotting’ how to disrupt the good work being done under Prime Minister Modi's leadership.”
"You must be wondering where 'Rahul Baba' is. Go ahead, try to find out. A programme scheduled for him in Prayagraj on July 10 was postponed. There was an event in Patna as well; that too was postponed. There seem to be stamps on his passport from places like London, Iceland, and Germany, who knows? He is off on a tour," Patra added.
