Rahul Gandhi does not know parliamentary language: Prahlad Joshi
Union Minister Prahlad Joshi said on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s statement, “The rules that are there, these rules have not been made after our or Om Birla’s arrival. These rules are already there. These rules have been there since the time when the Constitution was made. On the basis of those rules, if they make allegations against someone then they will have to prove it. If the person they are accusing is a member of the House, then they have to give notice and if he is not a member of the House, then they cannot make such allegations. Not certified by just speaking.” They have to keep documents related to it, they don’t know the meaning of the rules, hence they just make allegations. They don’t know anything about the parliamentary language.

There is no mention of today’s challenges in the budget: Rahul Gandhi
He further said that our second strength is our farmers, who provide food. We have food in abundance. Third- We need energy to run the country. Saving these three is the biggest need of modern times. The budget identifies these things. He says that we are going into dangerous times. He knows that the geopolitical situation is becoming dangerous. Energy and finance are being weaponized. But there is no solution for this in the budget. The budget is just like any normal budget. Nothing has been given in this for their safety. There is no mention of today’s challenges in the budget.

We are powerful in data: Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi said in his address that I want to tell the House that the strength of the sectors is our own people. 1.4 billion people are brilliant, energetic, intelligent. They can challenge anyone. But it’s not just people. We also have a large pool of data. Everyone talks about AI, but talking about AI is like talking about an engine, it is also important to talk about its petrol i.e. data. That means if you do not have petrol data, then AI is also useless. At present the world has two pools of data – the data pool of India (of 1.4 billion people) and China (there is also the same population). That means we are powerful in terms of data.

One consequence of AI is that the IT ecosystem created by Congress will remain under challenge. This will be challenged. AI will replace many engineers.
