Union Minister Giriraj Singh sharply criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, asserting that the Congress party has devolved into a 'Maoist, Muslim Congress.' This statement was made during a press interaction ahead of a Council of Ministers meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Singh dismissed suggestions that the meeting was called in response to Gandhi's remarks, emphasizing that it was pre-scheduled. He asserted that despite the opposition's attacks, the public continues to support Modi, who he claims has effectively led the country through various crises.
Gandhi had recently warned of an 'economic storm' approaching India due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, criticizing Modi for not adequately preparing the nation. He mocked Modi's recent interactions with foreign leaders, suggesting that the Prime Minister was more focused on trivial matters than serious national issues. Singh countered Gandhi's claims, defending Modi's leadership and the public's affection for him, while highlighting Gandhi's own legal troubles. The Council of Ministers meeting is anticipated to review the government's performance amidst rising global energy concerns.
