Raut Links Rahul's Comment to Government Actions, Calls for Accountability

Sanjay Raut juxtaposed Rahul Gandhi’s “idiot” comment with a series of recent government actions. He cited the Home Minister’s alleged deployment of pellet guns and tear‑gas on school‑age demonstrators, and the removal of minister Nitesh Rane from a kavaad convoy that included his parents. Raut argued that if a mainstream film can use the term without sanction, the parliamentary notice appears selective. He also accused the ruling party of cultivating blind followers and “idiots”, questioning the moral standards of elected officials. The remarks added fuel to an already heated debate over parliamentary privilege and political accountability.
