Kalki Dham chief Acharya Pramod Krishnam unleashed a blistering attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, labeling him a ‘problem for the entire country’ beyond just his party. In an IANS interview from Sambhal dated February 19, Krishnam accused Gandhi of exhibiting behaviors reminiscent of separatists and chaos-mongers, terming it an untreatable affliction.
‘His deeds mirror those of Kashmir separatists and anarchists who sow disorder,’ Krishnam asserted. Once a mere threat to Congress, Gandhi now poses a national risk, according to the seer, prompting urgent questions about his intentions.
The comments build on Union Minister Kiren Rijiju’s Lok Sabha outburst against Gandhi’s rowdyism. Rijiju reminisced about his opposition days, emphasizing he never resorted to throwing papers at the Speaker or causing pandemonium. Such disruptions, he said, block progress on key issues, with Gandhi’s tactics evoking Maoist aggression.
Krishnam backed Rijiju, while also critiquing the INDIA bloc’s dynamics. He pointed out Akhilesh Yadav’s competence but discomfort with established norms, and noted Mamata Banerjee’s potential candidacy despite controversies. This paints a fractured opposition landscape.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh had previously dismantled Gandhi’s farmer statements as false narratives designed to mislead, similar to past Rafale falsehoods. Labeling him an urban Naxal, Singh warned that Gandhi’s rhetoric echoes enemy propaganda from across the border, demanding accountability through legal measures.
These successive salvos from BJP leaders and allies signal escalating confrontations. As the nation watches, the debate intensifies over whether Gandhi’s style hampers constructive opposition or fuels necessary dissent, with profound implications for India’s political future.
