BJP and Congress traded fresh barbs after Sambit Patra questioned the funding behind Rahul Gandhi’s overseas visits and linked the issue to tax and FCRA rules.
Patra also alleged that the Opposition party encouraged social media users to post against the AI Impact Summit with monetary benefits. “People have shared messages from Congress leaders offering money to tweet or make reels critical of the Summit,” Patra claimed.
This clarification was provided in response to a starred question raised by BJP MP Sambit Patra, which sought to confirm whether any Nehru documents had gone missing or were improperly removed and whether any action had been taken.
According to Renuka, this was the first time military leaders had hinted at such coercion, calling it an “extremely alarming” sign.
The BJP leader assured the legislators that the Centre is committed to restoring a popular government before the current President’s rule expires in February 2026.
Referring to yet another rape case of August last year, wherein a young doctor was raped and murdered in the emergency building of RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, Patra alleged "vicious cycle of gang-rape is state-sponsored."
Slamming the Congress, BJP MP Sambit Patra on Thursday said that the leadership of the grand old party is always in a hurry to put India in the dock in the name of criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Terming the Bengaluru stampede, wherein 11 people were killed, "government-manufactured", BJP leader Sambit Patra on Thursday claimed that there was a rift between Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar.
Karnataka Home Minister G Parmeshwara dismissed the BJP's allegations, saying the RCB franchise and the Karnataka Cricket Association organised the victory celebrations, not the government.
Patra, while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in New Delhi, questioned Rahul Gandhi, Revanth Reddy, and Jairam Ramesh on not raising any question on how many air bases of the enemy country were destroyed, or terrorists killed.
