Bansal Criticises Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Economic Tsunami’ Remarks and Defends Party’s Full‑Time Workers

In the same briefing, Bansal took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling his warning of an "economic tsunami" a recurring pattern of alarmist language. He argued that Gandhi’s frequent travels abroad keep him detached from ground‑level realities, resulting in statements that Bansal described as "childish and unproductive."

He also echoed fellow BJP leader Nitin Naik’s comment that every party worker in the BJP functions as a full‑time representative, staying in constant contact with citizens throughout the year, thereby ensuring that welfare schemes reach the intended beneficiaries.
