Posters Follow BJP's Fresh Attack

The appearance of the posters comes just days after the BJP launched a fresh offensive against Gandhi over his reported foreign visit.

Addressing the media on Friday, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla alleged that Gandhi is perpetually in "vacation mode" and is frequently absent whenever Parliament, elections or his own party require his presence.

Taking a swipe at the Congress leader, Poonawalla said "LOP" should no longer stand for "Leader of Opposition" but instead mean "Leader of Paryatan (Tourism) and Partying." He accused Gandhi of prioritising travel over parliamentary duties and political responsibilities.

BJP Questions Gandhi's Foreign Trips

Poonawalla also contrasted Gandhi's alleged frequent overseas visits with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure, claiming the prime minister had not taken a single day off during more than 9,000 days in public office as chief minister and prime minister.

The BJP leader further alleged that Gandhi spends more time on vacations than in India, questioning the funding of his foreign trips and claiming they were backed by "shady organisations." He also alleged that Gandhi would remain "missing in action" while Parliament, the Congress and the public needed him.

The BJP's remarks came after reports that Gandhi had travelled abroad, although the party did not specify the purpose or duration of the visit.

Congress Yet to Respond

There was no immediate response from the Congress or Rahul Gandhi regarding either the posters or the BJP's latest allegations.

The posters have nevertheless generated considerable discussion in political circles, with the latest display adding another chapter to the increasingly sharp exchange between the ruling BJP and the principal opposition party ahead of the upcoming Parliament session.
