Eknath Shinde Hits Back At Rahul Gandhi Over PM Modi Criticism

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde launched a strong attack on Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday, slamming him for criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy.

Shinde responded to Rahul Gandhi's recent criticism by accusing the opposition of being unable to tolerate the country's progress. He highlighted the Congress party's historical record of destabilising governments, referring to the party's past actions of imposing President's Rule and poaching MLAs.

Shinde questioned whether Rahul Gandhi should be called a 'mimicry artist' for mocking PM Modi's foreign policy. He said that nobody needs to explain or teach foreign policy to Modi, and asked what Rahul Gandhi does when he goes abroad.

The Deputy Chief Minister emphasised that since PM Modi took office in 2014, India's international prestige has soared. He noted that over 34 to 35 nations have honoured PM Modi with their highest civilian awards, and strong global relations ensured India faced no energy crisis during global oil shortages.

Shinde levelled sharp historical claims against the Congress rule, stating that between 1967 and 1971, Congress brought down 45 governments, imposed President's Rule 16 times, poached 1,800 MLAs, and awarded 115 of them minister posts. He remarked that before throwing stones at others, Congress must look within.

Shinde also criticised opposition actions, including bringing monkeys into the Parliament premises, calling it an insult to democracy. He alleged that Congress leaders flee from actual debates with Union Home Minister Amit Shah because they fear their past actions will be exposed.

On internal state administration, Shinde said that Shiv Sena minister Bharat Gogawale would handle the flag-hoisting ceremony and assured that the Chief Minister would soon resolve issues over district guardian minister appointments.

The war of words between the ruling party and the opposition is likely to continue, with both sides trading blows over various issues. The latest attack by Shinde is a clear indication that the BJP is not going to take the opposition's criticism lying down.

The ongoing tussle between the BJP and the Congress is expected to have significant implications for the country's politics. With the opposition trying to corner the government over various issues, the ruling party is fighting back with all its might.

In the end, it is the people of India who will decide who is right and who is wrong. The ongoing debate over PM Modi's foreign policy is likely to continue, with both sides presenting their arguments and counter-arguments.

The country's progress and development are likely to be the key issues in the upcoming elections. The opposition is trying to corner the government over various issues, but the ruling party is confident that its development agenda will resonate with the people.

The latest attack by Shinde is a clear indication that the BJP is not going to take the opposition's criticism lying down. The party is fighting back with all its might, and the war of words is likely to continue in the coming days.

What it means for Mumbai and India is that the political landscape is likely to remain volatile, with both sides trading blows over various issues. The people of India will have to decide who is right and who is wrong, and the country's progress and development will be the key issues in the upcoming elections.
