Rahul Gandhi 'Exploited' Manmohan Singh's Death: BJP Slams LoP's Vietnam Trip. Congress Alleges 'Diversion Politics'

A fresh exchange of allegations erupted between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress following former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's demise and subsequent political developments. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya on Monday accused Congress MP Rahul Gandhi of "exploiting" Manmohan Singh's death for "expedient politics" while allegedly leaving the country to celebrate the New Year in Vietnam.

The article discusses the political controversy surrounding Rahul Gandhi's trip to Vietnam shortly after the death of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition (LoP), for allegedly exploiting Manmohan Singh's death for political gain by not attending his funeral and instead proceeding with his international visit. BJP leaders accused Gandhi of insensitivity and prioritizing his political engagements over paying respects to a significant political figure. In response, the Congress party defended Gandhi, alleging that the BJP was engaging in diversionary politics to shift focus from critical issues like the NEET exam controversy and other national concerns. The Congress emphasized that Gandhi had paid his respects to Singh before leaving for Vietnam, and accused the BJP of using the situation to distract from their own governance failures.
