Rahul Gandhi responded to Union minister Smriti Irani's accusation that he was responsible for "Manipur on fire" in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday by questioning what Prime Minister Narendra Modi had done for the state and asserting that it was his ideology that had caused the state to burn.
Rahul Gandhi questioned, in a video posted to social media, "Why is he not speaking about Manipur? This is so that it is clear that Narendra Modi ji is unrelated to Manipur.
This is due to the fact that Narendra Modi ji is unrelated to Manipur. They are aware that their ideology has destroyed Manipur, he continued.
On Wednesday at the Rajya Sabha's Question Hour, Rahul responded to Irani's accusations.
Irani charged the opposition parties during her speech in the Rajya Sabha with not speaking out against atrocities against women in places where the BJP was not in power. Rahul Gandhi was then charged with "setting Manipur on fire," she continued.
When will you have the guts to explain to us how women are violated in states where Congress is in power? When will you have the courage to reveal Rahul Gandhi's role in setting Manipur ablaze? Do not disparage the female ministers in this government, she said, to the thunderous applause of the lawmakers from her party.
