New Delhi: bjp Wednesday exact match Rahul GandhiHe was aggressive in his speech in the Lok Sabha, calling his accusations that the government was selling out the country’s interests in its trade deal with the United States a blatant lie, portraying him as a leader filled with bitterness and hatred who would stop at nothing to harm the country as he seeks to target the ruling coalition. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman lashed out at Rahul, saying the Congress government had abandoned India’s interests before international organizations like the WTO and “sold out” the interests of the poor and farmers. She said the UPA government had harmed the agricultural interests of Bali farmers and agreed to the trade facilitation agreement but did not protect India’s interests. She also referred to the Sharm el-Sheikh joint statement, accusing Manmohan Singh’s government of downplaying India’s stance on sovereignty and security in its engagement with Pakistan. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju was furious over Rahul’s accusations of “betraying” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying no “machara” would have the guts to do so and hailing Modi as India’s most powerful prime minister. Rijiju stood up to challenge Rahul’s allegations against the government and challenged him to substantiate his claims and also said a privilege motion may be filed for making false accusations by the Congress leader. Charge without any evidence. You are making wild accusations. Please make substantive points,” he said. In any case, the BJP will not let Rahul’s claims go unchallenged. But India was excited on Tuesday by a “fact sheet” released by the Trump administration that showed it was getting better terms than bilateral statements suggested. Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnav accused Rahul of claiming the deal compromised data ownership and said data was protected by a strong legal system. Former Anurag Thakur said in the Lok Sabha that successive electoral defeats had left Gandhi filled with hatred. “He hates parliamentary rules, he hates the speaker, he hates constitutional institutions, he hates the prime minister and now he hates India.” Thakur claimed that it was Rahul who accused the government of succumbing to US pressure and that Rahul was being guided by “visible and invisible” foreign forces against India. He said Rahul raised the issue of “vote chauri (ballot theft)” while the reality is that people have stopped voting for thieves. BJP chief spokesperson Anil Baruni sharply rebutted Rahul’s accusations, accusing him of misleading Parliament and the country by misquoting and misinterpreting documents, including the budget and the deal with the United States. “Rahul has once again chosen drama over truth. Deliberate distortion of the budget undermines democratic debate and disrespects the intelligence of the Indian people,” he said on X.
