Heated argument erupts between Rahul Gandhi and Ravneet Singh Bittu outside Parliament as BJP targets Congress leadership and calls for introspection. Debate Up
A sharp political confrontation unfolded outside Parliament when Congress MP and senior leader Rahul Gandhi reportedly clashed with Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, triggering fresh political reactions. The incident has intensified tensions, with the BJP launching a strong attack on the Congress leadership.
Senior party leader and former minister Manoranjan Kalia said Rahul Gandhi must engage in serious self-introspection within his party. He pointed out that Ravneet Singh Bittu is not the only leader to have left Congress, adding that several leaders have exited the party over time, reflecting internal dissatisfaction.
Kalia also stated that Rahul Gandhi should avoid making statements without proper thought. According to him, the repeated departure of leaders signals deeper organizational issues that the Congress leadership must address.
Responding to speculation about Navjot Kaur Sidhu’s possible return, Kalia dismissed the idea, saying she would not rejoin the party. He clarified that the Sidhu family has not formally quit but has only expressed dissatisfaction with Congress. He further stated that leaders who once left would not be allowed to return.
On reports of differences with Sushil Rinku, Kalia denied any dispute. Referring to a recent controversy over a photograph during the Prime Minister’s visit, he said the image was shared exactly as received, without any edits.
Speaking on political alliances, Kalia said earlier alliances had strengthened peace and prosperity in Punjab. However, the party later chose to contest elections independently, a strategy followed in the 2022 elections and continuing at present.
Regarding the 2027 elections, he said the final decision would be taken by the party high command. On Bikram Majithia’s bail, Kalia stated that courts act according to law and grant relief based on available evidence.
