Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President V. Gurunadam criticized Jagadguru Rambhadracharya’s statement in which he demanded removal of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the post of Leader of Opposition.
While talking to news agency IANS on Friday, he said that on what basis can you demand the removal of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the post of Leader of Opposition. Are you a BJP leader or one of their soldiers? If not, then on what basis can you demand removal of Rahul Gandhi as Leader of Opposition? Your demand is completely unreasonable.
Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President targeted Jagadguru. He said that your work is related to faith. In such a situation, it would be better for you not to interfere in any way on issues related to politics. How can you make such a demand?
Rambhadracharya’s statement is completely strange: Gurunadam
He said that Jagadguru’s statement is completely strange. You are Jagadguru. In such a situation, how can you give such a statement? This is completely unfair. You mean your faith, not these things, but if you interfere in an issue related to politics, then it is obvious that in such a situation you should remove words like Jagadguru from your name. Putting such words in front of your name has no meaning for you.
No need to remove Rahul Gandhi from the post of Leader of Opposition: Congress leader
He said that there is no need to remove Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the post of Leader of Opposition. Rahul Gandhi is the hero of this country. He is raising issues related to the public with full force. He is giving priority to the interests of the public. In such a situation, it becomes necessary for you that in any case the demand for removal of Rahul Gandhi from the post of Leader of Opposition is completely meaningless.
The post of Leader of Opposition has been given by the Constitution, not by the Centre: Gurunadam
The Speaker said that in this country the post of Leader of the Opposition has been created by the Constitution. This post has not been created by the Central Government or any political party. In such a situation, who is the Jagadguru who demands removal of Rahul Gandhi from the post of Leader of Opposition?
He said that the Congress party condemns this statement of Jagadguru. God will never forgive you. You are unaware of the power of God. You have put the word Jagadguru in front of your name, but with the kind of statement you have given in the present time, you have ruined the dignity of your name.
