Rahul Gandhi criticized the government's decision to cremate former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at Nigambodh Ghat, calling it a disrespect to his legacy. Congress and other leaders demanded a memorial site for Singh's cremation.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Rahul Gandhi for his comments on the memorial service for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, accusing him of stooping to a new low in politics. Gandhi had questioned the absence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah at the event, suggesting it showed a lack of respect for Singh. BJP's response was sharp, with leaders like Ravi Shankar Prasad and Anurag Thakur condemning Gandhi's remarks as disrespectful and politically motivated. They highlighted that Modi had previously honored Singh with the highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, and accused Gandhi of using the occasion for political gain. The controversy underscores the ongoing political rivalry between the BJP and the Congress party, with each side accusing the other of disrespecting national figures for political mileage.
