The Story in Brief
Union minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday accused Rahul Gandhi of behaving as if he is 'born to rule', calling his conduct in Parliament a sign of frustration and desperation. Joshi’s remarks came after the Monsoon Session ended, during which the opposition protested police action against student protesters and alleged theft of Ram temple donations.
Joshi said Gandhi uses 'filthy language' out of frustration because he does not get to rule. He contrasted Gandhi with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who he said did not come to power because of any family. Joshi also condemned the attack on Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, but said Maharashtra’s chief minister has ordered an inquiry.
The Indian Opinion
Name-calling in Parliament is nothing new, but when a Union minister says the Leader of the Opposition thinks he is 'born to rule', the subtext is about dynasty versus democracy. Both sides have used the monsoon session to score points rather than debate. The real test is whether the government will allow a structured discussion on the student police action or the temple donation issue when Parliament reconvenes.
