Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Friday called Rahul Gandhi an 'irresponsible' Leader of Opposition, alleging the Congress MP wasted the entire Parliament session due to 'ego and arrogance'. Speaking in Prayagraj, Maurya claimed Gandhi would not have been elected even as a corporator in the city if not born into the Gandhi family.
He accused Gandhi and Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav of depriving other MPs of their right to raise questions and lowering parliamentary standards. Maurya also criticised Gandhi's remarks at a Congress convention, calling it 'political frustration'. He alleged the Samajwadi Party was projecting Azam Khan for vote-bank politics and would not return to power until 2047. Maurya earlier visited Chandrashekhar Azad Park on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day.
The BJP's attacks on Rahul Gandhi as irresponsible and dynastic are predictable, but the Congress can counter that such personal criticism avoids debating policy substance. The ordinary Indian may tire of both sides trading insults rather than discussing issues like unemployment or inflation. The real test is not who is more irresponsible but how many productive hours the next Parliament session logs, a concrete number that will show whether either side is serious about governance.
