Rahul Gandhi’s Innovative Tactics After Speaker’s Warning

Rahul Gandhi’s Clever Response to Speaker’s Warning on Adani and Ambani

In a recent session of the Lok Sabha, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi faced a unique challenge when Speaker Om Birla restricted him from naming industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani. Despite the Speaker’s caution, Gandhi adeptly navigated the situation, employing creative strategies to reference the industrialists without directly naming them.

During a debate on the Union Budget, Rahul Gandhi drew an analogy from the Hindu epic Mahabharata. He likened the current political and economic landscape to a ‘chakravyuh,’ a complex military formation from the epic. He suggested that this ‘chakravyuh’ is designed to enhance the dominance of major businesses and foster a political and deep state monopoly.

Gandhi stated, “In ancient Haryana, in Kurukshetra, six figures caused the death of Abhimanyu within a ‘chakravyuh.’ This formation embodies violence and fear, trapping and eventually killing Abhimanyu.” He used this analogy to subtly imply that prominent figures, including Adani and Ambani, are central to this economic and political ‘trap.’

Speaker Om Birla intervened, emphasizing that references to non-members are against the rules. Gandhi, while acknowledging the Speaker’s directive, continued to indirectly criticize the industrialists by discussing their monopolistic practices. When confronted again by the Speaker, Gandhi humorously suggested alternative ways to address them, asking, “Should I call them number 3 and number 4?”

This incident underscores Rahul Gandhi’s persistent criticism of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government, which he accuses of crony capitalism favoring Adani and Ambani. In response, PM Modi has defended his administration’s support for wealth creators, asserting that he stands ready to face consequences if found guilty of any dishonesty.
