Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut on Wednesday (March 18) slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and called out his behaviour, saying that women get “uncomfortable” with him. She further accused the Leader of Opposition (LoP) of the Lok Sabha of “heckling” those giving interviews. Ranaut compared Rahul Gandhi’s behaviour with his sister’s, saying that he should see the conduct of Priyanka Gandhi, which is “very good”.
“He should see the conduct and behaviour of his sister, which is very good. Rahul Gandhi himself is a shame,” she said.
Kangana Calls Rahul Gandhi ‘Tapori’
Kangana Ranaut, while speaking to reporters, said that Rahul Gandhi walks in like a “tapori” and heckles those giving interviews.
“We, the women, get very uncomfortable seeing the way he (Rahul Gandhi) conducts himself. He walks in like a ‘tapori’ and heckles those giving interviews.” (Hum mahilao ko unko dekhkar bohot hi zyada uncomfotable feel hota hai… ekdum jaise tapori ki tarha aate hain… aur kisi ko bhi ae tu aise karke tu-tadak karte hain… koi interview de raha ho toh unko wo hooting calls karte hain)
Her remarks come after 84 former bureaucrats, 116 veterans and four lawyers wrote an open letter, asking Rahul Gandhi to apologise over the incident of him having tea and biscuits at the Makar Dwar entrance to Parliament.
Led by the former Jammu and Kashmir DGP SP Vaid, the signatories stated that the March 12 incident was “deeply concerning” and reflected “conscious disregard for parliamentary authority.”
Rahul Gandhi’s Behaviour Shows ‘Arrogance’
Speaking with ANI, SP Vaid said that Rahul Gandhi’s behaviour in Parliament is not becoming of a Leader of the Opposition and shows a “sense of entitlement and arrogance”.
“84 former bureaucrats, 116 veterans and former lawyers have addressed this letter to the public stating that Rahul Gandhi’s behaviour in Parliament is not becoming of a Leader of the Opposition, which is a very responsible post. His behaviour shows a sense of entitlement and arrogance,” he said.
He further demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi, urging him to fulfil the role of a responsible LoP, and said that he has made a laughingstock of himself.
