From the corridors of power in New Delhi, BJP stalwart Naresh Bansal has openly questioned Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, accusing him of fomenting disorder out of sheer dejection. The MP’s forthright comments paint a picture of an opposition unmoored by successive failures.
Bansal expressed dismay at Gandhi’s choice of words, unfit for a senior parliamentarian. ‘Nirasha (despair) has gripped him after flops on multiple fronts,’ he said. He specifically rebutted Gandhi’s frenzy over selective quotes from General Naravane’s as-yet-unpublished book, deeming it a blatant violation of legislative decorum and a tactic of the thwarted.
Venturing into international trade, Bansal rebuked the opposition’s hasty dissent on the India-US agreement. ‘Listen to the minister first,’ he advised, explaining how protracted talks protected India’s core concerns against American pressures.
In the CAA courtroom drama involving Punjab and Bengal, Bansal needled Mamata Banerjee’s credentials. ‘She’ll accept the verdict, but her frustration stems from vanishing vote banks tied to Bangladeshi inflows,’ he alleged. Detailing Bengal’s woes—endemic graft, vigilante violence against dissenters, and eroded public order—Bansal framed it as a regime in freefall.
Bansal’s unfiltered critique amplifies BJP’s narrative of stability versus chaos, as political lines harden for future confrontations.
