On Tuesday, Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, targeting his \u2018chakravyuh\u2019 jibe directed at the BJP-led NDA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On Monday, Rahul Gandhi used the ‘chakravyuh’ metaphor to assert that India was controlled by six individuals, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He compared the ‘chakravyuh’ to a ‘padmavyuh,’ highlighting its resemblance to the lotus symbol of the BJP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On Tuesday in the Lok Sabha, Anurag Thakur fiercely criticized Congress and Rahul Gandhi, using a satirical novel by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor to mock the LoP and the Grand Old Party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Anurag Thakur used excerpts from Shashi Tharoor’s book The Great Indian Novel<\/i> to criticize successive Congress governments since 1947 and accused Rahul Gandhi of misinterpreting his role as Leader of Opposition as \u201cleader of propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Thakur further targeted Gandhi by suggesting that one of the synonyms for the lotus, the BJP’s symbol, is “Rajiv,” referencing Rahul Gandhi’s father and former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cYou linked lotus with violence, does that mean you also link Rajiv with violence?\u201d Thakur asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rahul Gandhi responded, accusing BJP members of insulting him and asserting that, despite the abuse, the opposition is committed to passing the caste census in the House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gandhi further emphasized that he does not seek an apology from Anurag Thakur; instead, like Arjun from the Mahabharata<\/i>, his sole focus remains on advancing the caste census.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Whoever raises issues of the Dalits and backwards, has to face abuses… I don’t want any apology,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n #WATCH<\/a> | BJP leader Anurag Thakur says, “I had said that someone who doesn’t know about caste talks about census. I did not name anyone”<\/p>\n Congress leader Rahul Gandhi says, “Whoever raises the issues of Adivasi, Dalit and the backward, is abused.
