Giriraj Singh labels Rahul Gandhi a jester amid Election Commission standoff

Rahul Gandhi is not a legitimate Leader of the Opposition but a street performer, Union Minister Giriraj Singh declared on Friday. The sharp rebuke came as Congress party members staged nationwide protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accusing the commission of bias in recent electoral processes.

Singh dismissed the Congress party’s demands as hypocritical, pointing to the party’s historical record with former election officials. He argued that the role of an opposition leader requires a level of decorum and responsibility that Gandhi currently lacks, specifically citing the Congress MP's behavior during public demonstrations. Beyond the immediate electoral dispute, the minister pivoted to personal attacks against the Gandhi family, challenging the Congress leader to explain his mother Sonia Gandhi’s citizenship status and her history of voting prior to acquiring Indian nationality.

The minister also addressed broader political unrest, dismissing calls from West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for fresh elections in her state. Shifting focus to regional law and order, Singh criticized RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, contrasting current efforts against crime in Bihar with the party's own past governance. He echoed Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary’s stance, insisting that those who threaten women and children in the state must face uncompromising legal consequences.
