Union Minister Ramdas Athawale has criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent comments made overseas. Athawale accused Gandhi of tarnishing India’s image on the global platform by criticizing the government while abroad. The Republican Party of India (RPI) leader emphasized that such remarks by Gandhi are not in the country’s best interest. Athawale’s comments come in response to Gandhi’s criticism of the government’s handling of issues such as the farmers’ protest and the COVID-19 pandemic during his recent visits to the United States and the United Kingdom. The union minister also highlighted the positive developments in the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Athawale’s remarks have sparked a debate among political circles, with supporters of both leaders expressing contrasting views. The criticism from the RPI leader underscores the ongoing political tensions in India ahead of key state elections. The exchange between Athawale and Gandhi reflects the broader ideological divide between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition parties in the country. As the political discourse intensifies, the focus remains on the contrasting visions for India’s future put forth by the different political factions.
