‘Behaving like a bouncer’: Pratap Sarangi accuses Rahul Gandhi of pushing BJP MP
Hindustan TimesBJP MP from Odisha's Balasore, on Monday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of behaving more like a “bouncer” than a Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, a role once held by eminent figures such as Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Recalling the incident, Pratap Chandra Sarangi said, “It happened when we were standing near an entry gate, peacefully protesting against the insult of Dr Ambedkar, holding placards.” “Suddenly, Rahul Gandhi came along with some of his party colleagues and started pushing people to move ahead. Pratap Sarangi claimed there was enough space near the gate for Rahul Gandhi to pass without causing disruption. Dressed in blue, a colour symbolising BR Ambedkar, INDIA bloc MPs, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, demonstrated on the Parliament premises, calling for Amit Shah's resignation over his comments regarding the Constitution's chief architect.
