CPI(M) leader Saira Shah Haleem said in an interview given to a private TV channel that I like Rahul Gandhi very much. He has also given a statement related to the Grand Alliance in the midst of the ongoing elections in Bihar. He said that the opposition now needs a clear face and direction. In his words, Rahul Gandhi is a struggling leader and Priyanka has the ability to connect with the public, but the opposition will now have to give a clear political message. Saira also said that when the ruling party has a face like Narendra Modi, then the INDIA alliance should also put forward its prime ministerial candidate so that there is no confusion among the voters.

Remembering senior CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury, Saira said that he has been a fearless and pro-people leader. He said that Comrade Yechury was never afraid to ask questions to those in power. Today, such frankness as his voice is rarely seen in politics.

Challenges of INDIA alliance and opposition
Saira Shah Haleem admitted that the INDIA alliance is still not fully coordinated at the level of unity and strategy. He said that Left and Congress are face to face in Kerala but are together at the national level. This contradiction creates confusion among the public. He believes that the opposition should present not just unity but also an ideological vision, which could become a solid alternative model to BJP’s politics.

Rahul Gandhi and left ideology
When she was asked whether Rahul Gandhi was leaning towards leftist ideas, Saira said that in the present times, there is a historical need for the cooperation of Congress and the Left to protect democracy and the Constitution. He said that we are ideologically different, but it is necessary to move together to save democracy. Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s campaigns like Bharat Jodo Yatra and Nyay Yatra, Saira believed that they reflect equality, social justice and inclusivity, which are close to traditional leftist values.

BJP MP Anurag Thakur reacted to the remarks made by the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha on former Union Minister Arun Jaitley, saying that Arun Jaitley was a respected leader. People of every party respected him. Rahul Gandhi accused Arun Jaitley had threatened him for raising his voice against agricultural laws.

Talking to IANS on this matter, BJP MP Anurag Thakur said that Arun Jaitley had great respect and respect in all political parties. He always rises above politics and expressed his opinion on many issues and took everyone along. But today the politics of the Congress party is based on fear and deception, which aims to spread confusion and the Congress itself is living in confusion. The only truth is left in the Congress that every word spoken is a lie.

People used to rise above politics and respect: Anurag Thakur

Anurag Thakur further said that the only truth in the Congress is that everything is a lie. Arun Jaitley was the same guardian for many workers like us. People used to rise above party politics and respect them, took advantage of their experience. How can Rahul Gandhi tell such a big lie about those who gave so much to the country? Rahul Gandhi says that Jaitley threatened me when I was fighting agricultural laws? Rahul Gandhi is lying white, as Arun Jaitley passed away on 24 August 2019 while the Agriculture Act came in the Lok Sabha on 17 September 2020 and in Rajya Sabha on 20 September 2020

Hamirpur MP Thakur further said that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi lives in a different fictional world where there is no place for truth and fact. Many cases of defamation are going on on him across the country. He should apologize to Arun Jaitley’s family and country.

What did Arun Jaitley’s son say?

Arun Jaitley’s son Rohan Jaitley now retaliated on Rahul Gandhi and said that his father’s nature was not to threaten anyone. He was a staunch democratic person. Let me remind them that my father died in 2019. Agricultural laws were introduced in 2020. Even more important is that my father’s nature was not to threaten anyone for opposing views. He was a staunch democratic person and always believed in creating a consensus.
