Paswan Criticizes Opposition Over Gandhi’s Satyagraha Platform
Rahul Gandhi has started a website called Satyagraha.
He said it would bring together protests about different issues.
He also said truth was being suppressed and that he wanted to help protect it.
Union minister Chirag Paswan said the name was a good idea.
But Paswan said the Opposition should follow the principles of Satyagraha and tell the truth.
He accused Opposition parties of confusing people and leaving some issues unfinished.
Paswan also said their views on voter-list checks change depending on which party governs a state.
He urged them to reflect on why voters have rejected them.
Union minister Chirag Paswan said Rahul Gandhi’s digital initiative was aptly named “Satyagraha.”
Paswan said the Opposition should follow Satyagraha’s principles and speak truthfully.
