The Congress general secretary said that the people will teach a lesson to arrogant rulers.The prime minister was unable to answer the questions that Rahul Gandhi raised about Modi’s alleged role in Gautam Adani’s meteoric rise, she said. The Congress leader said, according to the newspaper:“You couldn’t answer. You got scared. Aur jo ahankaari hote hain, taanashah hote hain kya karte hai (Those who are arrogant and autocrats, what do they do)? When they are unable to answer questions, they try to subjugate the people using their might. They try to crush those who raise questions. Have you ever thought about it? Open your eyes, this entire government, the ministers, MPs … why are they trying to save one man? What is in this Adani that you are giving the entire country’s wealth to him? That you get rattled when his name is taken … and the scurry to save him.”ये पूरी सरकार, मंत्री-सांसद एक आदमी को बचाने की क्यों कोशिश करते हैं?इस अडानी में है क्या? हजारों करोड़ उनकी शेल कंपनियों में हैं लेकिन आप जांच नहीं कर सकते!ये अडानी है कौन? जिसका नाम आते ही आप सब बौखला जाते हैं!: ‘संकल्प सत्याग्रह’ में @priyankagandhi जी pic.twitter.com/JTZPno1eDk— Congress (@INCIndia) March 26, 2023To the BJP’s accusations of dynastic politics against the Nehru-Gandhi family, Vadra compared her family to like the Hindu deity Ram, who “performed his duty towards his family, his land” when he was sent to exile. “Should we be ashamed that members of our family members laid down their lives for this country? They shed blood for this flag. Iss dharti mein unka khoon hai, is desh ke loktantra ko mere parivaar ke khoon ne seecha hai (Their blood is in this land, this country’s democracy was nurtured by their sacrifices)… Those who think we can be intimidated and scared by insulting us, letting loose agencies on us, they have misunderstood. We are not going to be scared, we will fight more strongly,” she added, according to Indian Express.She also thanked the political parties which have extended support to her brother, saying that the opposition should unite because the “country is in danger”.Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge slammed the BJP, which has said that Rahul Gandhi’s comments for which he was convicted were an insult to all Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities.“They talk of OBC now. Is Lalit Modi OBC? Is Nirav Modi OBC? Is Mehul Choksi OBC? They ran away with people’s money. If they are fugitives why are you pained if they are criticised? You (BJP) punish the person who works to save the country and send those abroad who loot the country,” Kharge said, according to the Indian Express.Also Read: The Congress Has to Recognise That Its Enemy’s Enemy Is Its FriendSatyagraha for personal gains: BJPReacting to the Congress’s ‘Sankalp Satyagraha’, the BJP said that the agitation as an “insult” to Mahatma Gandhi because he organised satyagrahas for social causes and the Congress is doing it for personal reasons.The Congress agitation is a “brazen” display of its arrogance, BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said, according to the news agency PTI.He asked when Gandhi was convicted by a court in Surat after due legal process and his disqualification as a Lok Sabha MP was an automatic consequence, what is the purpose of the Congress’s satyagraha.
