BJP Mocks Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha Speech: ‘Such Knowledge Comes from George Soros'

BJP Mocks Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha Speech: Leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Friday mocked the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahulk Gandhi, on the grounds of some comments in his speech.

BJP spokesperson and MP Sambit Patra and the head of its IT department Amit Malviya posted excerpts from the video of Gandhi's speech on X to ridicule him.

Gandhi's statement, saying that "tapasya" was to "generate heat in the body", was one of the criticisms from them.

The other three points were individually picked up by the BJP leaders: Gandhi's description of Eklavya, a child of six-seven years in "Mahabharat", and that of Dronacharya cutting off his thumb.

Patra, in his post on X, also said that “such knowledge comes from George Soros.”

On the other hand, Malviya wrote, "This round goes to Rahul Gandhi. He remains the undisputed king of bloopers."

Many BJP members, including Union ministers, laughed in the session while Gandhi was speaking.

Participating in the fierce debate on 75 years of the adoption of the Constitution, Gandhi stated, "This Constitution is a document of modern India; it could never have been written without ancient India and ideas."

"The Constitution is a document of modern India but it could never have been written without ancient India and her ideas," Rahul Gandhi said.

He also invoked VD Savarkar, revered by the BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, saying,"I want to start my speech by quoting what the Supreme Leader, not of the BJP but of the modern interpretation of the ideas of the RSS has to say about the Constitution of India and about how he thinks India should be run. The worst thing about the Constitution of India is that there is nothing Indian about it. Manusmriti is that scripture which is most worshippable after Vedas for our Hindu nation and from which our ancient times have become the basis for our culture, customs, thought and practice," he said.

"These are the words of Savarkar...Savarkar has clearly stated in his writings that there is nothing Indian about our Constitution. He has clearly stated that the book India is run by should be superseded by this book. This is what the fight is about," Gandhi added.
