Quotes
Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha
“Every time, lives, dreams, and aspirations get buried under rubble — and every time, any real action is nowhere to be found. And when you demand accountability, the prime minister himself slaps you with insulting labels like ‘dimagi Naxal and naraaz phoopha’ — the intent being to shame, defame, and silence anyone who dares to ask questions.”

“The collapse of the building packed with students at Satya Niketan is no isolated tragedy. In the last four months, six people died in a similar disaster in Saidulajab, and a fire in Hauz Rani claimed 22 lives.”
