'Runs away during polls, returns after losing, then blames everyone': Kiren Rijiju tears apart Rahul's H File

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju tears into Rahul Gandhi's "baseless" Haryana election fraud allegations, accusing him of running away during polls and blaming institutions after defeat.

"Runs away during elections, returns after losing, and then blames everyone - Kiren Rijiju"

New Delhi, Nov 5

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday launched a blistering attack on Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi after the latter alleged “massive vote theft” in the Haryana Assembly elections. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, Rijiju accused Gandhi of spreading misinformation, insulting democratic institutions, and diverting attention from his party’s failures. 

Calling Gandhi’s allegations “baseless and fabricated”, Rijiju said the Congress leader “runs away during elections, returns after losing, and then blames everyone”.

“Rahul Gandhi addressed the press again to hide his failures. Voting in Bihar is just a day away, but instead of talking about Bihar, he was narrating a story about Haryana,” Rijiju said. “This clearly shows Congress has no issue left in Bihar, so they are fabricating the Haryana issue to divert attention.”

Rijiju dismissed Gandhi’s claim that 25 lakh fake votes were cast in Haryana as “laughable and irresponsible”, urging him to provide evidence to the Election Commission or court instead of “abusing institutions”.

“If there are irregularities, file a petition with the ECI, and approach the courts. But Rahul Gandhi never does that. He only holds press conferences and spreads baseless narratives,” he said.

The Union Minister also reminded Gandhi of the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, when exit polls predicted a BJP victory but the party accepted defeat gracefully.

“In 2004, exit polls were in our favour, but the results were different. We congratulated the UPA and did not abuse the Election Commission. In a democracy, one must accept both victory and defeat,” Rijiju said.

Taking a personal swipe, Rijiju alleged Gandhi frequently travels abroad during crucial political moments.

“During elections, he goes abroad, during Parliament, he secretly visits places like Cambodia and Thailand, and now, Colombia during the Bihar elections. Then he comes back and talks about atom bombs and fake issues,” Rijiju said, referring to Gandhi’s recent remarks.

Calling Gandhi’s conduct “immature and dangerous”, the Union Minister said the youth of India stand firmly with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Rahul Gandhi is trying to provoke Gen Z, but the youth are wise. They see our hard work and India’s growth. Congress games in collaboration with anti-India forces will not succeed,” he asserted.

Rijiju added that even Congress leaders privately admit the party “cannot win as long as Rahul Gandhi remains their leader”.

While I support holding leaders accountable, I wish our ministers would focus more on governance than personal attacks. Both sides need to maintain dignity in public discourse. The constant back-and-forth doesn't help common citizens facing real issues.

Rijiju sir spoke the truth! Rahul Gandhi's foreign trips during crucial times are well known. When will Congress understand that youth want development, not drama? Modi ji's work speaks for itself. 🙏

As someone who follows Indian politics closely, I find it concerning when any leader makes serious allegations without proper evidence. The Election Commission should be respected by all parties. Democracy needs strong institutions, not constant undermining.

The 2004 example given by Rijiju ji is perfect! BJP accepted defeat gracefully when results were unexpected. That's how mature democracies function. Congress should learn to respect the mandate of people instead of crying foul every time they lose.

Honestly tired of this political blame game. Whether it's BJP or Congress, they should focus on actual issues affecting common people - inflation, unemployment, infrastructure. Enough with the personal attacks! 😒
