"Rahul Gandhi always promotes China": Assam CM slams LoP over his remarks in Dallas

Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], September 9 (ANI): Assam Chief Minister and Jharkhand BJP co-incharge, Himanta Biswa Sarma, on Sunday targeted Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in Dallas, US, and said that the former always humiliates India and projects China as an ideal nation.
"Rahul Gandhi always promotes China. He always humiliates India and projects China as an ideal nation. There is no democracy in China, there is no religious freedom. Does Rahul Gandhi tell this to people? The MoU signed between the Congress and the Communist Party of China should be exposed," CM Himanta said.
During his visit to Dallas, Texas, on September 8, Rahul Gandhi discussed unemployment issues and criticised India for focusing 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.
The BJP has strongly accused Rahul Gandhi of undermining India's image with criticisms abroad.
MP Manoj Tiwari hit out and accused the latter of allegedly undermining India's image by making critical remarks abroad.
Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan criticised Gandhi for 'tarnishing' India's image abroad and accused him of betraying the country.
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia slammed the Congress leader over his remarks on "unemployment" and said that the latter is a "black spot on democracy."
Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha on Monday slammed the Congress leader over his remarks on "RSS and unemployment," made during his US visit and said that the latter wants to insult the country and tarnish its image. (ANI)
