"Beginning of tradition of wrong politics": Chirag Paswan slams Rahul Gandhi for his Dallas statement

Patna (Bihar) [India], September 9 (ANI): Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Monday criticised Congress MP and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in Dallas and Texas of the US and said that this is the beginning of a tradition of wrong politics.
The Union Minister emphasised that while differing opinions between the ruling party and opposition are natural, it's not appropriate to use these differences for political gain.
"It has become a habit of Rahul Gandhi to speak ill of the country. This is the beginning of a tradition of wrong politics. There has always been a difference of opinion between the ruling and opposition, but it is not appropriate to use political differences for political gain," he said.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party MP Manoj Tiwari hit out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and accused the latter of allegedly undermining India's image by making critical remarks abroad.
In a self-made video message on Monday, MP Tiwari alleged that Gandhi's remarks are based on a lack of understanding of the country or the Prime Minister. The BJP leader also drew parallels with political leaders in the United States in this regard.
"Have you ever heard that George Bush, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Biden, ever spoke ill of America after going to some other country? They never said bad things about their own country. But Rahul Gandhi can do this, he is doing this. Rahul Gandhi is lying without knowing the country, the Prime Minister, and the RSS," Manoj Tiwari said.
MP Tiwari also suggested that Gandhi's remarks come from "frustration of staying away from power."
"His frustration of staying away from power is not going away, and this is often seen when someone is born into a royal family and loses power. But I want to say that political battles are fought in our own country, not on foreign soil," Tiwari said.
"He is now realising that Modi ji is and will remain PM for the third consecutive time, hence this frustration," he added.
During his visit to Dallas, Texas, on September 8, Rahul Gandhi discussed unemployment issues and criticised India for focussing on consumption rather than production.
"The act of production creates jobs. What we do, what the Americans do, what the West does, is we organise consumption," he said.
Rahul Gandhi compared the current global production landscape to past decades, noting that while countries like China now dominate production, the West, including India, has shifted focus away from it. He also addressed ideological differences with the RSS and said, "The RSS believes that India is one idea, and we believe that India is a multiplicity of ideas."
He added that Congress supports inclusion and diversity, while accusing the Prime Minister of attacking the Indian Constitution. (ANI)
