New Delhi, April 3: Senior BJP leader Gaurav Vallabh has sharply criticized Congress leader Kamal Nath for his recent remarks regarding the availability of LPG, suggesting that Nath should provide ‘tuition’ to Rahul Gandhi on the matter. This comment comes in response to Nath’s assertion that “there is no shortage of LPG” and that an atmosphere is being created to suggest otherwise.
Vallabh, reacting to Nath’s statement made in Chhindwara, stated, “Kamal Nath should teach Rahul Gandhi. Rahul should learn from Kamal Nath between 4 to 5 PM, from Anand Sharma between 5 to 6 PM, and from Shashi Tharoor between 6 to 7 PM about how strong India’s foreign policy is.”
He highlighted the contradictions within the Congress party, which he described as indicative of internal strife. While the party has been attacking the central and state governments over the alleged shortage of LPG and petroleum products, Nath has denied any crisis.
Vallabh further noted that several senior Congress leaders are now speaking out against Rahul Gandhi’s stance. Referring to Anand Sharma’s recent comments on the situation in West Asia, Vallabh remarked, “They are saying the exact opposite of what Rahul Gandhi claims in his election speeches; his statements often bring embarrassment to the country. These former Congress leaders now assert that whether it is foreign policy, economic policy, cultural policy, or political policy, India is currently in its golden era.”
Additionally, Vallabh criticized Rahul Gandhi’s recent conduct in Parliament and his comments on the CAPF administration bill, stating, “Rahul Gandhi shows no faith in parliamentary traditions. Now he claims he was not given a chance to speak, yet he does not participate when the Parliament is in session.”
Concluding his remarks with a jab at the Congress manifesto released for the Assam assembly elections, Vallabh stated, “Rahul Gandhi, you do not need a manifesto. The Congress party is heading towards its biggest defeat yet.”
Kamal Nath’s comments have drawn significant attention in political circles, particularly as Congress is attempting to leverage the LPG shortage issue as an electoral topic in several states. Political analysts suggest that this incident reflects the divergent views present within the party.
