Poll losses have made Rahul bitter, full of hate for India: Anurag Thakur

Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, Union minister Kiren Rijiju and BJP leader Anurag Thakur on Wednesday said successive electoral losses have made the Leader of Opposition so bitter that he has started hating India and its constitutional institutions.

Countering Gandhi’s claims that the Government has “sold out” India’s interests in the interim trade deal with the US, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rijiju said Narendra Modi was the strongest prime minister the nation ever had and his leadership was “unshakeable”.

“Koi mai ka laal paida nahi hua jo humare desh ko bech de ya kharid le (no one has the audacity to sell or buy out India),” Rijiju said soon after Gandhi completed his speech during a debate on the Union Budget in the Lower House.

Participating in the debate, BJP member Thakur said successive electoral losses have filled Gandhi with hatred.

“It is unfortunate that he cannot even speak on the subject of the defeat. The electoral losses have filled him with hatred. He hates parliamentary rules, he hates the speaker, he hates constitutional institutions, he hates the prime minister and now he has started hating India,” Thakur said.
