New Delhi , Dec 11 : Rahul Gandhi chaired a review meeting of Congress Lok Sabha MPs on Friday to discuss the ongoing parliamentary session and the party’s strategy in the House. The Congress currently has 99 MPs in the Lok Sabha.
The meeting came a day after Rahul Gandhi renewed his criticism of Home Minister Amit Shah, saying the minister did not respond to his questions during the debate on election reforms. Rahul Gandhi said Shah appeared uneasy during his speech and avoided giving proof to counter the allegations raised. He also challenged Shah to hold a discussion on his earlier press conferences inside Parliament.
Congress MP Tanuj Punia said the Home Minister sidestepped the real issues, including those related to Haryana, and focused instead on attacking the Congress.
The BJP responded sharply, accusing Rahul Gandhi of using “hit and run” tactics. Union Minister Giriraj Singh said Rahul leaves the House whenever the Prime Minister or the Home Minister speaks and claimed he could not face the points raised by Amit Shah.
The exchanges followed a heated argument in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday between Amit Shah and Rahul Gandhi over allegations of “vote chori.”
