Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a scathing attack on the viral pictures of Rahul Gandhi eating tea and biscuits during the protest at Makar Gate of Parliament House on the LPG issue across the country.
In a press conference organized at the Bihar BJP office in Patna, the party’s national spokesperson Guru Prakash fiercely targeted the Lok Sabha opposition leader. Describing it as a blatant violation of the rules of Parliament, he said that due to being away from power, Rahul Gandhi’s mental balance has deteriorated.
‘There was no protest at the Makar gate of the House, Rahul was having a picnic’
BJP spokesperson Guru Prakash called this step of Rahul Gandhi an insult to Baba Saheb Ambedkar and democracy. Called March 12 as a ‘black day’: Terming March 12, 2026 as a ‘black day’ for democracy, he said that Rahul Gandhi was having a picnic and drinking tea while sitting at Makar Dwar in the name of protest in the House.
Violation of Rule 384: He alleged that this act, done despite the express prohibition of the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, is a direct and open violation of ‘Rule 384’ of the Parliament.
‘Does Rahul Gandhi consider himself above the law?’
Guru Prakash raised tough questions on the mentality of Congress and Rahul Gandhi: He asked that all citizens are equal in the eyes of law, then does Rahul Gandhi consider himself above the law and Constitution of the country?
He taunted and said that when any decision does not go in favor of Congress, then the Court and the Election Commission are blamed for it, and now they are directly insulting the temple of democracy.
Making a sharp attack, he said, “Actually, due to being away from power for a long time, their mental balance has deteriorated. The country needs to be careful of such people.”
Government’s defense on LPG crisis and mention of Ujjwala scheme
While answering the opposition’s questions on the issue of LPG shortage, the BJP spokesperson strongly defended the government. He said that before 2014, the mothers and sisters of the country were forced to cook food on smoky stoves, but Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Ujjwala Yojana’ has connected every household with gas.
He clarified that the concerned ministers and officials have informed in the Parliament that gas and oil are available in sufficient quantity in the country and the current situation is much better than during the Congress rule.
