New Delhi: A video of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi partying has been shared by the BJP. The BJP leaders have criticised the leader for partying. On this, the Congress party has defended its leader and asked “What’s wrong with it?”
Congress general secretary Randeep Surjewala was addressing a press conference. At the conference, when he was questioned about the viral video, he clarified that Rahul Gandhi was attending a friend’s wedding in Kathmandu. He also advised BJP to focus on other ‘important issues’ instead of going after the Congress leader for no reason.
“Rahul Gandhi is in Kathmandu to attend the wedding of his friend. He is on a personal visit there. Why are they [BJP] not answering the questions related to power crisis, inflation but they have all the time in the world for Rahul Gandhi,” Surjewala said.
“Last when I checked having a family in this country, attending marriage and engagement ceremony is a matter of our culture and civilisation. It has still not become a crime in this country to be married, to be friend of someone or to attend their marriage celebration,” he said.
Congress MP Manickam Tagore accused BJP of lying. He enquired what was wrong with the Gandhi scion attending a private marriage reception, like a regular person.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote, “What is wrong in it when he attends a marriage reception? Why Sanghi’s are afraid about him? Why Sanghi’s are spreading lies? Everyone of us attend private functions.”
Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Surjewala added, “Rahul Gandhi hasn’t gone as an uninvited guest like PM Modi went to Pakistan. Rahul Gandhi went to a friendly country, Nepal, to participate in private marriage function of a friend.”
Amit Malaviya, taking to Twitter, had written, “Rahul Gandhi was at a nightclub when Mumbai was under seize. He is at a nightclub at a time when his party is exploding. He is consistent. Interestingly, soon after the Congress refused to outsource their presidency, hit jobs have begun on their Prime Ministerial candidate…”
