In a sharp counter-attack, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra defended Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s upcoming foreign trip to Germany. Speaking on December 10, she questioned the BJP’s criticism, stating, ‘Modi ji spends almost half his working time outside the country, why are they raising questions on the leader of the opposition travelling?’ The BJP has accused Rahul Gandhi of skipping the Winter Session to ‘defame India’ abroad. The programme explores the political dynamics as the BJP claims Rahul Gandhi maligns the country’s reputation on foreign soil, while the Congress argues the same rules should apply to the Prime Minister’s travels.
