Several Opposition leaders have questioned why PM Modi inaugurating the Parliament building instead of the President.
The Bharatiya Janata Party today taunted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with a "crybaby" jibe for his objection to Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the new Parliament building. Speaking to NDTV, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said Mr Gandhi "starts beating his chest" whenever there's a historic moment in the country. It looks like the Modi Govt has ensured election of President of India from the Dalit and the Tribal communities only for electoral reasons.While Former President, Shri Kovind was not invited for the New Parliament foundation laying ceremony…1/4
Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that the President should inaugurate the new Parliament building and not the prime minister.
"Why does this happen? When the country is progressing, he comes forward as a bad omen during auspicious times. He has such small thinking that he can't welcome such a historic moment when the new Parliament building will become a temple of democracy," Mr Bhatia said.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has also accused the PM Modi-led government of "repeatedly disrespecting propriety" by not inviting the President and former President to the inauguration of the new Parliament building and alleged that the Office of the President has been reduced to tokenism under the BJP-RSS Government.
