BJP attacks Rahul over Germany Visit: Rahul Gandhi will go to Germany from 15 to 20 December. BJP has targeted the opposition regarding the foreign trip of the opposition leader during the Parliament session. Before this, Tejashwi Yadav is also on a tour of Europe. However, Priyanka Gandhi has defended Rahul Gandhi by citing PM Modi’s foreign tours.
BJP Attacks Rahul Over Germany Visit: Rahul Gandhi is going to go to Germany during the Parliament session. He will stay abroad from 15 to 20 December. BJP has created a ruckus regarding this. Earlier, despite the bad defeat in Bihar elections, Tejashwi Yadav had gone on a trip to Europe. He left the Bihar Assembly meeting and left for Europe on December 3. It is said that he has gone on a long leave amid family disputes. He will also celebrate Christmas with his wife in Europe. Tejashwi will return home on January 4. Amidst the continuous electoral defeats, BJP has become aggressive regarding these foreign tours of opposition leaders.
BJP launched a scathing attack on the Congress leader’s visit to Germany. Terming him a ‘leader of tourism’, the BJP alleged that his foreign tour during the winter session of Parliament reflects his priorities, where he puts tourism above parliamentary responsibilities. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala said that Rahul Gandhi is again doing what he does best. He alleged that the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, is leaving the country even while the Parliament session is going on. The session will continue till December 19, while according to reports, Rahul will be in Germany from December 15 to 20. Poonawala called him a foreign hero and said that the Congress leadership is often absent on important political occasions.
Why is BJP the attacker?
BJP took a jibe by linking this visit to the previous elections. Poonawala reminded that Rahul was abroad even during the Bihar Assembly elections and after that he went on a jungle safari. He said that when we lose elections they ask why are we losing? But his mind is not among the public, but only in tour and travel. Only during foreign tours. This is Rahul Gandhi.
Meanwhile, the Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) has confirmed the visit. IOC Germany President Balwinder Singh said that Rahul Gandhi will go to Germany from December 15 to 20 along with IOC Chairman Sam Pitroda. Vikram Doohan of IOC UK said that during this time he will meet Indian expatriates and ministers of the German government. These meetings will provide a platform for discussion on India’s global role and strengthen exchanges with German legislators and the expatriate community.
PM Modi spends half his time abroad- Priyanka Gandhi
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday hit back after BJP raised questions over Rahul Gandhi’s proposed visit to Germany, saying that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi spends half of his working time abroad, then why are questions being raised on the visit of the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. When BJP raised questions on Rahul Gandhi’s visit during the winter session of Parliament, Priyanka Gandhi told reporters in the Parliament complex that Modi spends almost half of his working time outside the country, so why are they (BJP) leaders raising questions on the visit of the opposition?
