Rahul Gandhi is a fifth-generation politician from the Nehru-Gandhi family and a senior Congress leader. He currently serves as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
Entering politics in 2004, he contested from the family stronghold of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh, winning three consecutive terms before losing to the BJP’s Smriti Irani in 2019. However, he remained an MP by securing a win from Wayanad, a seat he held until 2024. He briefly served as Congress president from 2017 but resigned after the party’s poor performance in the 2019 General Elections.
Between 2022 and 2024, Rahul Gandhi led two major political marches—the 3,750-km Bharat Jodo Yatra (Kanniyakumari to Srinagar) and the 6,700-km Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra (Thoubal to Mumbai). In the 2024 elections, he made a strong comeback, reclaiming Amethi and assuming the role of Leader of the Opposition.
“The allegations have been made by the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. He is not an ordinary citizen. Naturally, if he has made these allegations, he has done so with a sense of responsibility. It is the responsibility of the ECI to look into it and assure the Indian public that the rolls were prepared properly and in accordance with the law.” – am befuddled and bewildered. Who is this “constitutional expert” P.D.T. Achary?
I always knew Apoorva Madhani to be a fangirl of Rahul Gandhi. But who is this “constitutional expert” who thinks India has a “responsible Leader of Opposition” in Rahul Gandhi?
I guess Jairam Ramesh and Kharge are retiring. Hence, the Congress needs two new lackeys for Rahul Gandhi. Both Apoorva Madhani and P.D.T Achary (the constitutional expert) seem to be vying for the about-to-be open positions.
The Sancho Panzas to the Don Quixote.
