The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday took a sharp dig at Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for frequently mentioning “China” in his 45-minute-long speech during the discussion on the motion of thanks to the President’s address.

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra dubbed the Congress leader as “Rahul Jinping” (in reference to Chinese President Xi Jinping) saying that Gandhi must be praying that he gets to be Chinese in his next life.

“… I feel like addressing him as ‘Rahul Jinping’. He took China’s name 34 times… He must be praying that he gets to be Chinese in his next life… Rahul Gandhi said that manufacturing in China is high and India is lagging… From 2004-14, the trade deficit between India and China was 25 times high… He said that only 1-2 companies are given importance in the banking sector and poor people are being neglected… PM Modi gave loans to 51 crore people under MUDRA scheme… Congress was against the UPI system… Today, 500 million transactions are taking place through UPI…” Patra said as quoted by news agency ANI.

BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya also hit out at Lok Sabha LoP for mentioning ‘China’ 34 times in his speech.

Malviya shared a video in a social media post on X, compiling the bits where Rahul mentioned China during his address.

“Rahul Gandhi mentioned China 34 times in his 45-minute speech,” Malviya said.

The BJP’s reactions came hours after he said that China has at least a 10-year lead on India in the production sector of the economy.

What Rahul Gandhi Said?

Pressing on the India-China border issue, Gandhi declared that Beijing is now “sitting on over 4,000 sq km of our land”. He also claimed the Army had contradicted the government’s assertion – that no land had been surrendered to China.

“The Prime Minister has denied it and the Army has contradicted the Prime Minister that China is sitting on 4000 sq km of our territory,” he said.

Gandhi warned that India’s defence sector is heavily reliant on Chinese imports, and said that in case of conflicts, the country would be dependent on Chinese-made components.

“If and when we fight a war with China, we will be fighting with Chinese electric motors, Chinese batteries, and Chinese optics, and we will be buying Chinese motors, Chinese optics, and Chinese batteries,” the Congress leader remarked.

Gandhi also criticised India’s inability to build a strong manufacturing base, saying, “Any country organises two things: consumption and production. The modern way of saying organising consumption is services, and the modern way of saying organising production is manufacturing. But there is more to production than just manufacturing. We have, as a country, failed in organizing production.”

Rijiju confronted Gandhi in the Parliament, accusing the Congress leader of peddling false narratives. “How can you say this… you are speaking lies,” the Union Minister said while objecting to Gandhi’s remarks.

Later today, Gandhi’s comments were expunged from the Lok Sabha records.
