Stormy Debate In Lok Sabha On Budget : Rahul Gandhi Vs PM Modi's Government

In a dramatic showdown in Parliament, Rahul Gandhi's scathing criticism of the budget ignited a heated debate. Drawing on references from Lord Shiva to the Mahabharat, Gandhi delivered a pointed message to the government, accusing the Modi administration of betraying farmers, the middle class, and students. His sharp taunts aimed at business magnates Adani and Ambani led to a reprimand from the Speaker. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju's attempt to intervene sparked a fierce confrontation with Gandhi. The confrontation intensified as Gandhi questioned the composition of the budget team, causing Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to display visible exasperation. Gandhi's comments about the Agniveer scheme and his taunts regarding OBC and Dalit issues also drew objections from Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. The Lok Sabha experienced a stormy 30 minutes during Gandhi's speech, setting the stage for a highly anticipated response from Sitharaman on Tuesday.
