About Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi's Visit
The 5-day visit was announced during the Winter Session of Parliament, prompting widespread criticism from BJP leaders. They allege that his frequent trips call his dedication to the Indian Congress into question.
BJP MP Kangana Ranaut said on December 10 that she doesn't keep track of his tours, but his continuous visits are the reason the opposition party is falling. Taking a sharp dig, she said this person has no substance and strength of character" "I don't keep track of his tours, nor do I read any news about him. So, what can I say about his tours? But it's pretty obvious to everyone why his party has fallen to single digits.", she said.
Priyanka Gandhi defended the Germany Tour by stating that "PM Narendra Modi spends half of his working time outside the country, so why are they raising questions when the Leader of the Opposition is travelling".
The visit to Germany is scheduled to continue until 20 December.
