Lok Sabha Congress MP and LoP, Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday hit out at the Modi government for proposing the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said, “There is a lot of action going on about the new Bill that the BJP is proposing. We are going back to medieval times when the king could just remove anybody at will. There’s no concept of what an elected person is. He doesn’t like your face, so he tells ED to put a case, and then a democratically elected person is wiped out within 30 days. Also, let’s not forget why we are electing a new Vice President. Just yesterday I was having a conversation with somebody and I said, you know, where has the old vice president gone? He’s gone.”

While addressing the members of INDIA, Bloc, Rahul Gandhi says, “There is a fight going on between those that are attacking the Constitution and those that are defending the Constitution… Every single party has unanimously supported Reddy ji. He worked on the Telangana caste census, helped craft a vision of social justice for Telangana. As I was thinking what to say, I happened to look inside his pocket. And inside his pocket, there was the Constitution of India. He is carrying the Constitution of India with him everywhere… After about five minutes, he said to me, Rahul, I have been carrying the constitution in my pocket for 52 years… He said, because, in any legal conversation, the Constitution has the final answer.”

The Congress MP said, “The day the Vice President resigned. Venugopal ji called me and said, Vice President is gone. There’s a big story about why he resigned. Some of you might know it, some of you might not know it, but there’s a story behind it, and then there’s a story about why he’s in hiding. Why is the Vice President of India in a situation where he cannot say a word? Suddenly, the person who used to burst forth in the Rajya Sabha has gone silent, completely silent. So this is the time we’re living in.”
