Rahul Gandhi has a huge ego but little understanding of India’s aspirations. Over the last few years, Rahul Gandhi’s modus operandi has remained the same — propagating lies, making baseless accusations and spreading false narratives with the intent to tarnish Narendra Modi’s image. But every time he tries doing it, he falls flat on his face. At present, Rahul Gandhi is facing another 6 defamation cases against him, besides being out on bail in the National Herald case.

The list where Rahul Gandhi has lied or has attempted to spread false narratives is long: Farm Laws, Article 370, China Border Issue, Covid Vaccine, Surgical Strikes, Pulwama Attack, Demonetisation, Justice Loya case, Sohrabuddin encounter, Terrorist Ishrat Jahan, MNREFA, CAA, NRC, Rafale, Pegasus, Agniveer, Cenral Vista, RSS, NPAs — the list can go on an on.

Chowkidar Chor Hai: Rahul Gandhi while attacking Narendra Modi over the Rafale deal claimed that the SC concurred with his accusations of ‘chowkidar (PM Modi) is a thief’. Fact of the matter was that the SC rejected all the petitions related to Rafale jet deal and even dismissed pleas seeking review of their decision, thus giving clean chit to the Narendra Modi government on allegations of irregularities. Rahul Gandhi willingly submitted an unconditional apology in the Supreme Court. Who’s the real maafiveer now?

It was an irony to see Rahul Gandhi talk of scams because, in fact, the Congress has had a vast history of scams — right from the Nagarwal case of 1970s to the Mundada scam in the Life Insurance Corporation that had taken place during the tenure of Jawaharlal Nehru, the Bofors scam under father Rajiv Gandhi and later, an almost monthly ritual of scams that took place during the 10-year tenure of Manmohan Singh as the Prime Minister under Sonia & Rahul Gandhi.

Pegasus Snooping: In his Euro 2023 Trip, Rahul Gandhi reiterated that spyware Pegasus had been used to snoop on him by the Narendra Modi government. He also claimed, “I’ve been called by Intelligence officers who say please be careful of what you say on your phone as we are recording the stuff”.

Hilarious stuff! Hats off to the scriptwriter who made Intelligence officers call Rahul Gandhi to convey that they were tapping his calls. Fact is, Rahul Gandhi or other Congress leaders refused to submit their phones to the Supreme Court-appointed technical committee that probed the Pegasus snooping issue. Following extensive investigation, SC concluded that there was no evidence of Pegasus.

Raising such questions on Indian soil can be arguably justifiable, but the conspiracy to malign the country on foreign soil with the help of foreign friends raises questions on the agenda of the Congress. Rahul Gandhi’s intellectual bankruptcy is evident when he loses no opportunity to malign India on foreign soil.

Remarks on RSS: In December 2015, Rahul Gandhi claimed that RSS women volunteers did not allow him to enter Barpeta Satra, a 16-century Vaishnavite monastery in Assam. The then Assam CM, Congress’ Tarun Gogoi and his son and Loksabha MP Gaurav Gogoi also echoed those comments. Rahul Gandhi is facing another criminal defamation case for these comments.

Within 24 hours of the death of Gauri Lankesh, Rahul Gandhi told reporters that “anybody who speaks against the ideology of the BJP, against the ideology of the RSS, is pressured, beaten, attacked and even killed” — implying RSS to be behind the death. Rahul Gandhi is facing another criminal defamation case for these comments.

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi also alleged that the RSS was behind the killing of MK Gandhi. After the court framed charges against Rahul Gandhi in the case, he told the top court that he never blamed the RSS for the assassination of MK Gandhi.
