Mumbai: The BJP MP Nishikant Dubey of Jharkhand on Monday stirred controversy while addressing the parliament in the monsoon session. The MP made a contentious remark by saying that the nation should thank the PM for providing (free fund ka khana) food free of cost to the poor.
“The condition of the world after Covid today, even after that the poor and unprivileged are getting a meal for two times, shouldn’t we thank and congratulate the prime minister”, he mentioned.
The discussion on the critical issues like price rise and inflation in the nation under the Modi government was being held in the parliament yesterday when the BJP MP made this remark for which the opposition slammed him and the MP is now being trolled on social media by the netizens.
Trolled on social media:
People are giving sharp reactions to his remark on social media. The opposition leaders also took to twitter and condemned his remark.
मै भाजपा सांसद @nishikant_dubey जी से कहना चाहूँगा की फ़्री का आप खाते होंगे,जनता नही।जनता जन्म के साथ हाथ में बांधने वाले धागे से लेकर मरने तक कफ़न के लिये भी टैक्स देती है। जनता को आपकी तरह बंगला,गाड़ी,बिजली,पानी, हवाई -रेल यात्रा फ़्री नही है। pic.twitter.com/zLLDxxjmEz

Pappu Yadav a social media user wrote, “The MP who robbed the most of the free fund is now asking the population of 80 crores to become pets from the public for free fund food!”
Another user tweeted, “I would like to tell the BJP MP that you must be eating for free, not the public. The public also pays tax for the shroud from the thread tied in the hand with birth till death. People like you get bungalow, car, electricity, water, air-rail travel for free, but not the public.”
Discussion on price rise:
The House detailed discussion of the Rule 193 rate hike, which has been the bone of contention between the Treasury and opposition banks since the start of the July 18 session, so far resulting in a near washout of the debates.
Discussions of the Wildlife Amendment (Protection) Act 2021 and the Central Universities Amendment Act (2022) have also been included.Though the Centre had listed 32 Bills for passing in Parliament, it seems unlikely against the backdrop of a showdown with the opposition on the issue of rising GST rates and inflation.
