Rahul Gandhi’s pointed avoidance of the ‘Jee Ram Jee’ scheme’s name in Parliament has drawn NDA ire, with BJP spokesperson Prem Shukla decrying it as a ‘Mughal mindset’ at play. The accusation strikes at the heart of ongoing cultural-political battles.
Detailing the charge, Shukla contrasted Gandhi’s historical engagements—bowing at Babur’s site yet shunning Lord Ram’s mention in a pro-rural program. This, he argued, exposes a fundamental ideological rift, alienating traditional Indian values.
Shambhavi Choudhary, LJP (Ram Vilas) parliamentarian, broadened the assault, indicting Gandhi’s track record of superficial engagement with issues. She claimed he routinely misleads without grasping bills or contexts, prioritizing disruption over dialogue. ‘False narratives are his tool to feign advocacy,’ she observed.
Upholding the scheme, Choudhary tied it to Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of empowered villages, now realized through adaptive, reviewed policies. Such updates align with evolving realities, serving public good against baseless critiques.
Amidst this, the controversy spotlights NDA’s rural focus versus Congress’s perceived urban tilt. As barbs fly, the ‘Jee Ram Jee’ plan emerges as symbolic battleground, influencing voter perceptions in key demographics. Political observers see it as prelude to fiercer pre-election skirmishes.
