New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha MP Shri Anurag Singh Thakur cornered the entire opposition including Rahul Gandhi and Congress during the discussion on the budget in the monsoon session of Parliament.

During a budget discussion, Anurag Thakur slammed Rahul Gandhi for taking a sarcastic dig at the lotus symbol, leaving many perplexed about his opposition to it. Thakur clarified to Rahul Gandhi the leader may not realise is that the word “Rajiv” is synonymous with “Lotus.” The lotus holds great significance as the symbol of our party, and the people of India have reinstated the BJP for a third consecutive term to serve them.

Lotus is the symbol of our Party and people of India resinstated the BJP to serve the people for the 3rd consecutive term. That particular leader, must be reminded that the “aasan” of Maa Lakshmi is lotus, our national flower is also lotus. During the Indus Civilization, murti of Bhagwan Shiva in the form of Pashupatinath was also found in the “Padmasana”, Lokmanya Tilak attained Samadhi in the Padmasana posture. While they say that there is violence all around the lotus, then they are not only insulting the lotus but also insulting great Bhagwan Shiva, Bhagwan Buddha and Lokmanya Tilak.

Anurag Thakur advised Rahul Gandhi to think a little before he insults the Lotus. He said, ‘don’t just become a reel leader, a lot of memes are made of you. To become a real leader, one has to speak the truth.’

Anurag Thakur took Rahul Gandhi’s statements on Mahabharata and Chakravyuh to task and replied in the same manner. He said that some people are ‘accidental Hindus’ and their knowledge of Mahabharata is accidental too. At the very start of the Lok Sabha, I had asked whether the people of the opposition who were waving the copy of the Constitution in their hands, in the name of saving the Constitution, but had no answer to the number of pages in it. Shri Anurag Thakur said that these people have neither read the Constitution nor the Mahabharata, but it is surprising that they have not even seen the Mahabharata, otherwise they would have known that not 6 but 7 Maharathi were involved in the killing of Abhimanyu.

Anurag Thakur, in his own style and sharp tone without taking the name of Rahul Gandhi said that if he has not seen or read the Mahabharata, then at least he should have read the novel, “The Great Indian Novel” by his MP Shashi Tharoor. If Rahul ji wants to get detailed information about the Mahabharata and Chakravyuh, then he may connect with his Party’s MP.

In the said novel, which leader has been termed as “Dhritarashtra”, which party has been called “Kaurava”, who is “Priyadarshini”, Rahul ji must find these facts. Anurag Thakur, while reading Shashi Tharoor’s ‘The Great Indian Novel’ in the Lok Sabha, said that Narendra Modi was not the Prime Minister on 15 August 1947 and he (Shashi Tharoor) is saying that the person who took power in 1947 was Dhritarashtra.

BJP MP Anurag Thakur did not stop here. He also mentioned the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi. This country knows, who was the only Fabian socialist. Referring to the Emergency, the BJP MP said that this country has been a victim of the tortures, and people of the country will never forget. Jagdambika Pal, who was playing the role of speaker, asked Anurag Thakur to hand over the copy of the book from which he was quoting.

Anurag Thakur attacked Rahul Gandhi’s Chakravyuh statement and said that he did well by raising the topic of Chakravyuh because this country has well seen many “Chakravyuhs of Congress Party”. He attacked Congress by counting 7 Chakravyuhs and said that the first Chakravyuh is Congress itself which divided the country. Country’s first Prime Minister was the second Chakravyuh of Congress who gave the country the problem of Kashmir and gifted India’s land to China. Third Chakravyuh was former Prime Minister IG (Indira Gandhi) who gave the country emergency and unrest in Punjab.

Country, saw the fourth Chakravyuh of Congress when former PM RG-1 (Rajiv Gandhi) gave the country Bofors and massacred the Sikhs. Fifth Chakravyuh was SG (Sanjay Gandhi) who created a narrative of hatred towards Sanatan Tradition and patronized scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore, trapped the country’s economy in a vortex. And the sixth Chakravyuh is RG 2 who, in the last 15 years did so much damage to the country’s politics, parliamentary tradition and culture as the other 6 Chakravyuhas combined could not do and I will not name the seventh Chakravyuh, you all know it.

Anurag Thakur, without naming Rahul Gandhi, again targeted him and said that Modi government not only liberated the country by breaking the Congress’s Chakravyuha but also made India the fifth largest economy in the world by taking the development chariot forward.

Anurag Thakur, while attacking Congress, further said that the Abhimanyu whom you have been trying to surround from Gujarat to Delhi for the last 22 years along with your warriors and your governments could not succeed because he lives in the hearts of the people of our country.

Mentioning the former Prime Ministers who were elected from the Congress party and the scams that happened in every era, he said, ‘I want to ask, who got the Halwa. Some people talk about OBC. For them, OBC means, “Only for Brother in Law” Commission. I had said, the one who does not know about caste, talks about census. I had not taken anyone’s name, but who stood up to answer?

Anurag Thakur said, that falsehood has no legs and it rides on the shoulders of the Congress party. Just like a juggler has a monkey on his shoulders, Rahul Gandhi has a bundle of falsehood on his shoulders.
