The Story in Brief
Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on social media, saying he made a 'big mistake' by going to Prayagraj instead of Ranchi. 'Mistakes happen to humans,' Rijiju wrote on X, without elaborating on what he meant.
The jibe came a day after Gandhi visited Prayagraj to address a youth event, where he attacked the central government's policies, and amid a heated exchange between the two over the women's reservation bill and its linkage to delimitation. On Saturday, Rijiju had urged Gandhi to support the bill, prompting the Congress leader to question why it must be tied to delimitation.
The Indian Opinion
The Rijiju-Gandhi spat is another round of sound and fury that tells voters nothing. Each side picks a convenient target, one blames the Centre, the other mocks a visit. But the real issue remains buried: does the women's reservation bill deliver seats to women before 2029, when delimitation is due? Watch for the government's next move on the Delimitation Commission's timeline. That, not a tweet, will show who actually wants the quota to work.
