- Kiren Rijiju accused Rahul Gandhi of making secret foreign trips and advised the Congress leader to spend more time in India.
- Rahul Gandhi was urged to shed negativity toward the Bharatiya Janata Party, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as part of Rijiju’s seven-point advice on winning elections.
- Congress leaders were accused by Rijiju of disrupting proceedings and avoiding debates after challenging the government over electoral-integrity and foreign-link allegations.
- Parliament was designated by Rijiju as the proper forum for discussion, and he called on the opposition to debate rather than stage walkouts.
Why it matters: For Congress, the immediate test is procedural: Rijiju’s seven-point electoral message culminates in a call for debates on foreign links and electoral integrity rather than walkouts. That puts parliamentary accountability, rather than campaign messaging alone, at the center of the dispute.
