Lucknow: The BJP took a serious note of the recent Rahul Gandhi about Prime Minister Narendra Modi not able to face the Lok Sabha even for 15 minutes and said that such a challenge is posed by Congress president who himself cannot speak much “without consulting a slip” is laughable.

Uttar Pradesh state BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi today told PTI, “The Congress president cannot speak for 15 minutes without consulting a slip. In any public event or even in the Parliament, Rahul Gandhi has been unable to speak at length for 15 minutes… And, in this case, challenging Prime Minister Narendra Modi is laughable.”

He further added, “It was due to the antics of the Opposition that the functioning of the Parliament was stalled. If anybody is stopping Rahul Gandhi from speaking in the Parliament, it is the Congress.”

Mr Tripathi also said, “When the students asked Rahul Gandhi valid questions on development, Rahul Gandhi tried to shift the blame to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.”

“In fact, Rahul Gandhi must answer as to why the parliamentary constituencies of Amethi and Rae Bareli have been deprived of the basic amenities, despite both the seats having been represented in the Lok Sabha maximum number of times by the Gandhi family. The Gandhi family had also held power in the Centre for a long duration of time,” he said.

The party spokesperson from Uttar Pradesh also said that the Chief of Congress Rahul Gandhi is a failed man in addressing issues and problems related to his parliamentary constituency.

“Tell me how many times Rahul Gandhi has written a letter to Prime Minister or Chief Minister or met them to apprise them of the problems that people face in his constituency,” Mr Tripathi said.

He further said that many development schemes were available in Amethi and Rae Bareli after the BJP party formed governments at the Centre and also in UP.

Expressing confidence that BJP party would emerge victorious in the coming 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Mr Tripathi said, “The people of Amethi and Rae Bareli are now ready to teach Congress a lesson.”

Earlier on Wednesday, while speaking to reporters Yesterday in Amethi, Rahul Gandhi had said Prime Minister who has the time to travel all over the country, could not spare 15 minutes for the Lok Sabha.

“Prime Minister is travelling across the country, but he does not have 15 minutes to give a speech in the Lok Sabha,” Rahul Gandhi had told reporters here on the second day of his three-day visit to his Parliamentary constituency stronghold.

“15 minute de dein, khare nahin ho payenge Lok Sabha mein (He will not be able to face the Lok Sabha even for 15 minutes, he will not be able to answer our queries),” he said.
