RahulUnion minister Giriraj Singh on Friday accused Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi of spreading confusion and misinformation about LPG availability in the country.
Gandhi behaved in a similar manner during COVID-19 and the country tackled the pandemic efficiently under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the textiles minister told reporters in the Parliament House complex.
On Thursday, Gandhi alleged that India’s energy security had been “compromised” due to a “flawed” foreign policy and that the government had “bartered” to the US the right to determine relationships with different oil suppliers.
Raising the issue in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi said the war between the US and Israel, and Iran is going to have far-reaching consequences.
Criticising Gandhi, Giriraj said, “Abusing the country is the only thing Gandhi knows. When Covid hit the country, he spread confusion and misinformation across the nation.”
“Sometimes he questioned why vaccines were not being given to children. At other times, he made different claims. He only spread confusion,” the textiles minister told reporters in the Parliament House complex.
However, the prime minister served the people of the country through the vaccination programme and as part of his foreign policy, supplied vaccines to many countries, reflecting India’s philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (The world is one family), he said.
Now, Giriraj claimed, Gandhi is spreading confusion and misinformation about LPG availability in the country.
The Begusarai MP said the Congress leader does not deserve to be the leader of opposition.
“Rahul Gandhi’s role has been reduced to behaving like an urban Naxal, with no seriousness at all. He does not even understand what it means to be the leader of opposition,” the minister said.
