Rahul Gandhiโs reply to Elon Muskโs tweet today exposes two things that define Rahul Gandhiโs and the Congress ecosystemโs politics. Nothing exposes them better than this one tweet.
First, when discussions were going on last year about Starlinkโs possible entry into India, the Congress party opposed it, alleging that this was being done to support businessmen close to Prime Minister Modi. They even brought in the national security angle to oppose Starlinkโs entry.
And now, the same Rahul Gandhi has made a complete U-turn and is pushing for Starlinkโs entry into India. He has not only reversed his partyโs stand from a few months ago, but has also conveniently forgotten the national security arguments his own party had raised then.
This shows that Rahul Gandhiโs opposition is simply for the sake of opposition. When they thought the Modi government was supporting Starlink, they opposed it. Now, when they think the government is opposing it, they are supporting Starlink.
They can sway whichever way they want, as long as it is to oppose Modi. Principles, consistency and even national security can be conveniently forgotten.
Second, look at what has happened today and how history has parallels to this.
Rahul Gandhi is supporting a foreign businessman because he believes Indian businessmen are close to the Prime Minister. He seems willing to welcome a foreign businessman to challenge Indian businesses simply because he believes those businesses support Modi.
This reminds us of Jaichand. There are many such examples in Indian history where our own people sided with foreign interests to further their individual political ambitions. Every time, such choices cost the nation dearly. These divisions and betrayals contributed to centuries of foreign domination and subjugation.
Rahul Gandhi seems determined to replay the same textbook.
But this time, the consequences could extend beyond political hegemony to technological and economic dependence as well.
And for what? Just to oppose Modi?
Will you oppose India just to oppose Modi, Mr. Rahul Gandhi?
It is unfortunate that we have a Leader of Opposition like you, Mr. Rahul Gandhi.
@Annutiwariii Does that make even sense to say the a soldier should not have faith in his religion because of the post he is holding temporarily for a period of two years? People become creatures of nature to find a scope for scandals, unfortunately
@BattaKashmiri Finally got in to parliament through back door after the common people rejected him and his party, shamelessly joined with DMK for getting in to some kind of power by hook or crook.
BREAKING:
India is not backing down.
Indian Foreign Ministry stated:
"US continues to import uranium hexafluoride from Russia for its nuclear industry, palladium for its EV sector, along with fertilizers and chemicals."
