NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s upcoming Berlin visit has kicked off a fresh political storm, with the BJP slamming him for going abroad even as the Lok Sabha continues its crucial winter session.
Calling him “Videsh Nayak”, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla mocked the Congress leader for choosing a foreign tour over his duties as Leader of Opposition.
Gandhi is scheduled to attend a major Indian Overseas Congress event in Berlin on December 17, where he will meet IOC leaders from across Europe.
In a post shared on X, Shehzad Poonawalla said, “Once again Videsh Nayak is doing what he does best ! Going for a foreign tour ! Parliament is on till 19th Dec but Reports suggest Rahul Gandhi to visit Germany from Dec 15-20! Rahul is LoP leader of paryatan During Bihar elections too he was abroad & then in Jungle Safari,” adding that Rahul Gandhi had similarly been away during the Bihar elections.
“During Bihar elections too he was abroad & then in Jungle Safari,” Poonawalla’s X post further read.
Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) has described the visit as a significant outreach initiative aimed at strengthening the party’s global engagement. The IOC announced that Rahul Gandhi will address the Indian diaspora in Berlin on December 17, where Presidents of IOC chapters across Europe will gather to discuss NRI issues, Congress Party strengthening, and strategies to expand the party’s ideological reach.(Agencies)
