A political bombshell has hit social media, courtesy of Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, who posted Lok Sabha footage exposing Congress women MPs’ bold maneuver to encircle Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s seat on February 4. As the PM prepared to reply to the President’s address, the MPs’ banner-waving protest in the House’s well derailed everything.
Rijiju’s X post pulls no punches: ‘Congress is proud of this disgraceful act by its MPs. Things could have gone horribly wrong.’ He reposted Congress’s AI-generated video for good measure, debunking their ‘scared PM’ trope.
This unfolds post a letter from the MPs to Speaker Om Birla, rejecting intimidation allegations and flipping the script on Modi’s demeanor. Birla’s vigilance shone through; sensing ‘unforeseen’ risks, he halted the session near 5 PM to protect the ‘temple of democracy.’
The video unmasks the players: Around 8-9 MPs, including heavyweights Jeniben Thakor, Varsha Gaikwad, Jyotimati, R. Sudha, K. Kavya, and Shobha Bachhav, huddled strategically. Persistent uproar sealed the speech’s fate.
Waves of backlash and support flood online, polarizing discourse. BJP frames it as Congress’s intolerance blueprint, opposition labels it smear tactics. Rijiju’s savvy release dominates headlines, potentially shifting momentum in parliamentary slugfests. In an era of viral politics, authenticity battles perception—watch this space for repercussions.
