New Delhi [India], November 4 (ANI): Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Monday mocked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after videos surfaced of him catching fish during his visit to Begusarai, suggesting that his recent trip to Malaysia hadn’t satisfied his appetite for aquatic adventures.
Taking to X, Singh wrote, “It seems that the resorts and beaches of Malaysia haven’t satiated you, so now even during the election tour in Bihar, Rahul ji couldn’t hold himself back upon seeing clean water!”
The Congress leader, who is campaigning in Bihar ahead of the two-phased Assembly elections starting November 6, joined local fishermen in a traditional fish-catching ritual in Begusarai. He was seen jumping into a pond and participating in the practice using nets and bare hands.
Earlier, Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM-S) chief and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi had also taken a swipe at Gandhi, calling his act mere theatrics. “What else can he do? He criticises India abroad, he makes PM Modi’s mother listen to abuses, and sometimes he calls Chhath a drama. Such a person will catch fish—what else can he do?” Manjhi said.
BJP and its allies, including HAM-S, have accused Gandhi of engaging in “drama politics” to imitate Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s grassroots image.
The political exchanges between the NDA and the Opposition bloc have intensified as Bihar heads to polls. Voting for the 243-seat Assembly will take place in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with counting scheduled for November 14. (ANI)
