New Delhi: In a fiery rebuke, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde lashed out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of tarnishing Indias image during his recent trip to the United States. Shinde labeled Gandhis statements as reflective of a petty mentality and criticized his alleged habit of denouncing the country while abroad.Rahul Gandhis views reflect his petty mentality. Whenever Rahul Gandhi goes abroad, he spews venom against the country. The country can never agree with Rahul Gandhis petty views. It has been Congresss habit to do politics in the name of religion and caste, Shinde remarked on Wednesday.Shinde strikes on RaGa!Shinde further condemned Gandhi for confusing reservations. He emphasized that the Mahayuti government remains committed to supporting reservation policies, ensuring they remain intact. Spreading confusion about the Constitution and reservation has become their fashion. Rahul Gandhis anti-reservation face has now come before the world. As long as I am a true soldier of Shiv Sena, I will never let reservation end, he added.Shindes criticism followed Home Minister Amit Shahs sharp remarks, where he accused Gandhi of aligning with forces that aim to divide the nation. Shah emphasized that the BJP is committed to safeguarding reservations and ensuring national security. During his US trip, Gandhi had stated that Congress might reconsider reservation policies once India becomes a fairer society. He pointed out the systemic exclusion of marginalized communities like OBCs, Dalits, and Adivasis from significant institutions and industries, highlighting the deep-rooted inequities. Two businessmen cannot run the country, Gandhi noted.
