'Listening To Rahul Gandhi Means A Headache': BJP MP Kangana Ranaut Slams Congress MP

New Delhi: Heated discussions continued in the Lok Sabha on the second day of the special parliamentary session. Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, hit out at the government over the Women's Reservation Bill. Adopting a sharp stance in his speech, Rahul characterized the bill as being detrimental to the rights of Dalit sections, women, and OBCs. Now, BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has responded to Rahul, taking aim at him directly.

Why Did Kangana Ranaut Attack Rahul Gandhi?

Speaking to the media, Kangana Ranaut remarked, "Listening to Rahul Gandhi is a headache. He appears to be reliving his childhood trauma. He recounted to us a magic show he must have witnessed during his childhood—specifically, how a magician had bound him in chains. He spoke of experiencing tremors at night and of his grandmother telling him stories. This is absolute nonsense. Even the Speaker asked him to stop. To that, Rahul Gandhi replied, 'You will be entertained; just enjoy it.' It was an absurd remark. I feel ashamed; he has turned the Parliament into a mockery."

What Did Rahul Gandhi Say About the Bill?

Rahul Gandhi stated unequivocally that he would not allow this bill to be passed. The Congress MP asserted, "This is not a Women's Reservation Bill, as the law regarding women's reservation was already passed in 2023. The current bill is an attempt to alter the country's electoral landscape. This bill is directed against the SC, ST, and OBC communities and carries an agenda to strip them of their rights. The government is fearful. They intend to replicate across the entire nation what they previously executed in Assam and Jammu & Kashmir."

Rahul Gandhi maintains that this bill has absolutely no connection to women's empowerment. He alleges that the government is merely attempting to seize power. He declared the bill to be "anti-national" and vowed that he would not allow the government to proceed with it. Terming it a "shameful" piece of legislation, Rahul argued that the government seeks to usurp the rights of the OBC population. He informed the government that he would extend his support only if they reintroduced the original legislation, explicitly rejecting the current version of the bill.
