BJP parliamentarian Manoj Tiwari unleashed a scathing critique against Rahul Gandhi in Parliament on Friday, labeling him outright as ‘China’s agent.’ This provocative statement erupted against the backdrop of ex-Army Chief MM Naravane’s memoir revelations about a pivotal India-China standoff moment.
In an IANS interview, Tiwari was unapologetic. ‘Rahul Gandhi works for China – believe it fully. He’s India’s foe, and Congress under him isn’t a friend to the country. Their antics explain the constant controversies,’ he asserted.
Highlighting Gandhi’s pattern of disparaging PM Modi, Tiwari noted, ‘They’ve exhausted every insult, even dubbing him a terrorist – the very leader who terrifies terrorists across eras.’
Naravane had addressed the disputed quote ‘Do whatever you think is right,’ attributed to Rajnath Singh, portraying it as a sign of unwavering governmental faith in the military and cautioning against its politicization.
Shifting focus, Tiwari ridiculed Mamata Banerjee’s vow to live and die in Bengal. ‘Death talk in elections? It’s about ballots, not funerals,’ he sniped, slamming her for vote-bank theatrics amid governance failures.
Tiwari pointed to the RG Kar tragedy and others as proof of crumbling law enforcement, with courts stepping in where the state faltered. ‘Goonda rule reigns in Bengal; free voting is a myth,’ he charged.
He praised Modi and Shah for turning the tide, boosting safety and participation. As polls near, such rhetoric signals intensifying confrontations between ruling and opposition camps.
