Union Minister Ramdas Athawale has criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent comments criticizing the Indian government while overseas. Athawale stated that it is inappropriate for Gandhi to criticize India on foreign soil and that such actions can harm the country’s image internationally. Athawale’s remarks came after Rahul Gandhi, during his visit to the United States, made comments about the current situation in India, including issues related to the economy and democracy. Athawale, who is a prominent leader of the Republican Party of India (RPI), emphasized the importance of presenting a united front to the world and addressing internal matters within the country rather than airing grievances abroad. The criticism from Athawale reflects the ongoing political tensions in India, particularly between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition parties. The exchange of comments between Athawale and Gandhi highlights the divergent views on the state of affairs in India and the appropriate platform for airing such views. This latest incident is likely to further fuel the political discourse in the country as different parties and leaders continue to engage in verbal sparring over key issues.
