Apologizing is Rahul Gandhi’s Destiny’: Shivraj Chouhan Remarks After Rahul Gandhi Apologies to OBC

Rahul Gandhi apologized to OBCs in Lok Sabha, sparking a fierce rebuttal from Shivraj Singh Chouhan who accused Congress of “anti-national” acts. The debate exposed sharp political divisions over social justice and governance.

New Delhi: There was a recent political debate in the Lok Sabha in which Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi apologized to the OBC community. On this, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan reacted sharply and said that "the fate of the Congress is to apologize." Chauhan, making a strong attack on the Congress, alleged that the party never did anything for the OBC community and had put the Mandal Commission report on hold.

Chauhan, in his statement, made many serious allegations against the Congress. He said that the Congress had also questioned Kargil Victory Day and also raised doubts on Operation Sindhur. He alleged that "Congress opposed the country and spoke the language of Pakistan." Chauhan even said that the Congress sees the benefit of the country's loss.

पहले लोकसभा में और आज राज्यसभा में देश के किसान भाइयों, बहनों और गरीब कल्याण से जुड़े सवाल थे लेकिन विपक्ष हँगामा करता रहा, चर्चा से भागता रहा।

आज राज्यसभा में सवाल किसानों से संबंधित थे।
आज सवाल प्रधानमंत्री ग्राम सड़क योजना से संबंधित थे।
आज सवाल गरीब बहनों और महिलाओं से जुड़े… pic.twitter.com/5zFux8PnAB

In the second aspect of this debate, Chauhan also questioned the behavior of the opposition. He said that when important issues related to farmers, the poor, and women were to be discussed in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, the opposition only created a ruckus. He explained in detail that important questions related to Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, and Rural Development were to be discussed in the House, but the opposition stopped it.

Chauhan said, "I politely requested the opposition to allow me to answer. I wanted to answer not only the House but the whole country. But the opposition continued the uproar." He alleged that this incident has once again revealed the "anti-village, anti-poor, anti-farmer, and anti-women" character of the Congress and the opposition.

The political tension in Parliament is clear with this entire episode. On the one hand, while the opposition is questioning the government, the ruling party is also questioning the intentions of the opposition. This debate is an important part of the political discourse in the country that highlights the issues related to social justice, farmer interests, and the health of parliamentary democracy.
