The political climate has heated up as BJP MLA Alleti Maheshwar Reddy took a sharp jab at Rahul Gandhi for traveling to Vietnam during the nation's mourning period for former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. Singh passed away due to age-related complications at 92, leaving a significant void in Indian politics.
With Singh's cremation held at Delhi's Nigambodh Ghat with full state honors, BJP leaders criticize Gandhi's trip as the central government declares a week-long mourning. In a series of statements on social media platforms, the BJP accused the Congress party of disrespecting Singh during his lifetime and in death.
Amidst escalating tensions, Congress MP Manickam Tagore slammed the BJP for supposedly engaging in diversion politics. Tagore defended Gandhi's private travels and criticized the government's handling of Singh's cremation arrangements, urging a focus on more pressing national issues.
