BJP’s “Bad Omen” Reply To Rahul Gandhi’s Attack On New Parliament Opening

New Delhi: 

The Bharatiya Janata Party today taunted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with a “crybaby” jibe for his objection to Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the new Parliament building. Speaking to NDTV, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said Mr Gandhi “starts beating his chest” whenever there’s a historic moment in the country. 

Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that the President should inaugurate the new Parliament building and not the prime minister.

“Why does this happen? When the country is progressing, he comes forward as a bad omen during auspicious times. He has such small thinking that he can’t welcome such a historic moment when the new Parliament building will become a temple of democracy,” Mr Bhatia said.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has also accused the PM Modi-led government of “repeatedly disrespecting propriety” by not inviting the President and former President to the inauguration of the new Parliament building and alleged that the Office of the President has been reduced to tokenism under the BJP-RSS Government.

“It looks like the Modi Govt has ensured election of President of India from the Dalit and the Tribal communities only for electoral reasons,” Mr Kharge wrote in a series of tweets.
