“Rahul Gandhi, despite being an opposition leader, is behaving like a comedian on the dais. This is the second time; earlier, he did the same thing when making sexist remarks regarding the Italian Prime Minister Meloni. Now he is trying to do this regarding the mother of the Prime Minister. This is a serious insult to womanhood in this country. I think Rahul Gandhi must apologise to the women of this entire country.”

“If the Congress has anything to say, they have every right to criticise the government or individuals, but not by descending to such low-level politics. This is nothing but low-level politics by the Congress party.”
