Rahul Gandhi: Political Satire or Desperate Strategy?

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over mock interviews and protests regarding the Adani issue in Parliament. Labeling Gandhi as a 'comedy king,' Pradhan suggested his actions were a desperate attempt to remain relevant. Despite sloganeering with other opposition members, Gandhi's tactics face criticism from government officials.

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan sharply criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday, calling him a 'comedy king' in response to Gandhi's protests and mock interviews in Parliament concerning the Adani controversy.

Gandhi, along with other opposition members, conducted satirical campaigns, donning masks of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani, while voicing slogans for justice outside the Parliament's Makar Dwar.

The political theater was labeled a 'tamasha' by Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, who condemned the antics as a waste of public funds and urged Congress to understand why such tactics are not resonating with the Indian populace.
