'Rahul Gandhi last smiled on July 31...', why Anurag Thakur mentioned the time in Lok Sabha

During a heated debate in Lok Sabha over the budget, Anurag Thakur criticized Rahul Gandhi's remarks and accused him of showing disdain for India.

In a session of the Indian Lok Sabha focused on the budget discussion, tensions escalated between members of the ruling party and the opposition. Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition, took aim at the government, condemning its dealings involving the U.S. and referencing the Epstein files, while asserting that no Prime Minister would engage in such deals with America. Following his speech, the opposition members staged a walkout in protest.

Subsequently, Anurag Thakur from the BJP responded to Gandhi's comments, dismissing them as unfounded and sarcastically suggesting that Gandhi's education needs to begin at the nursery level. He further accused Gandhi of harboring hatred for India and criticized the subjectivity of his criticisms, implying that Gandhi attended events abroad to tarnish the country's image.

Thakur's speech contained pointed jabs at Gandhi's credibility, emphasizing that while he presents himself as the Leader of the Opposition, his actions convey a different narrative—one of opposing India. This exchange not only highlights the polarized atmosphere of Indian political discourse but also sheds light on the ongoing confrontations over national issues, as leaders trade barbs rather than engage constructively.
