Foot in Mouth or Showing the Mirror? Rahul's Cambridge Visit Has BJP Hoping for One More Controversy

News 18  

Rahul Gandhi is off to a tour abroad. While his trip is expected to have fireworks, this is not the first time Gandhi’s official visits abroad have ended up becoming controversial and embarrassed the party, while also giving ammunition to the BJP. The Congress leader said: “There is a particular type of politics that’s not only happening in India but in a number of places — of dividing people, of using their anger to win elections and that’s what is happening in India.” He went on to add that unlike Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he loved even those who disliked him. Several more controversial comments followed like when he said violence against women was increasing in the country or when at a German university in 2018, Gandhi said China was expanding and flourishing unlike India. According to the Congress, when PM Modi travels abroad, he spares no chance to attack the Congress or former prime ministers like Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.
