Anurag Thakur Critiques Rahul Gandhi's Leadership Amid NDA's Economic Triumph

BJP leader Anurag Thakur highlighted the NDA's economic achievements over the past decade and criticized Rahul Gandhi's political role. He commended Gandhi's new responsibility as Leader of Opposition, calling it an 'agnipariksha.' Thakur noted no corruption charges against the Modi government, contrasting it with Congress's alleged failures.

BJP leader Anurag Thakur on Monday enumerated the economic milestones achieved by the NDA government over the last decade while taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi. Thakur commented that Gandhi had enjoyed power without responsibility until assuming the role of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.

Initiating the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address, Thakur praised the Lok Sabha elections for relegating those opposed to the Constitution to the Opposition benches for the third consecutive time.

Congratulating Gandhi on his new role, Thakur implied that now power comes with accountability, warning that 'absentee landlordism will not work.' Thakur asserted that this period would be a trial by fire or 'agnipariksha' for Gandhi, questioning his commitment to be present in the Lok Sabha.

At the time of Thakur's remarks, Gandhi was not present, leading to protests from Opposition members. Thakur further stated that under 10 years of Congress rule, India faced economic failures and scandals, whereas the Modi-led government has evaded corruption allegations and elevated the country to the world's fifth-largest and fastest-growing economy.
