Congress leader Rahul Gandhi condemned the actions of BJP minister Parvesh Sahib Singh
“When his (AAP MLA’s) worker abused my family, I did what any person would do after getting angry,” the minister said in a video message posted by the Delhi BJP on X.
Because they no longer fear that elections can remove them, these people do this.
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday hit out at the BJP over a video showing Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh appearing to slap a man during a road inspection in Tilak Nagar, linking the incident to his broader “vote chori” campaign and alleging that electoral victory had made the ruling party fearless of voters. A road was being dug up right in front of the minister, and he had a camera in his hand,” Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X. Gandhi further said, “Ask a question on the street – a slap. “A government that takes victory for granted doesn’t need your consent – it demands your silence and ‘andhbhakti’,” Gandhi said.
“A BJP minister from the Delhi government is seen slapping a young man in a video. His crime? He was making a video. Ask a question on paper leaks – a lathi charge. Ask a question in Parliament – the mic is switched off. “Arrest the minister.
