'Your Jumlaveer...': Congress On BJP's 'Shameful' Remark After Manmohan Singh Attends RS In Wheelchair
A war of words has erupted between BJP and Congress on social media over former PM Manmohan Singh's presence in the Rajya Sabha in a wheelchair during discussion on the Delhi Services Bill.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday attended the crucial session of the Rajya Sabha as the House met to discuss and vote on the Delhi Services Bill. Singh was sitting in a wheelchair and the images have gone viral on social media, with leaders praising the former PM for his dedication towards democracy. However, Singh's attendance has sparked a war of words between the BJP and Congress whose leaders took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam each other.
The Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) posted a photo of Manmohan Singh in wheelchair from Monday's Rajya Sabha session and said that Congress kept a former PM sitting in a wheelchair and termed it 'extremely shameful'.

कांग्रेस ने सदन में एक पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री को देर रात स्वास्थ्य की ऐसी स्थिति में भी व्हील चेयर पर बैठाये रखा वो भी सिर्फ़ अपना बेईमान गठबंधन ज़िंदा रखने के लिए!
बेहद शर्मनाक! pic.twitter.com/EVj9RR7XmP
"The country will remember this craziness of Congress! The Congress kept a former Prime Minister sitting in a wheel chair late night in the House even in such a state of health, that too just to keep their dishonest alliance alive! Extremely Shameful!" she tweeted.
Responding to the tweet, Congress spokesperson Surpiya Shrinate took a veiled jibe at PM Narendra Modi and said that your 'Jumlaveer' is running away from the House while Dr. Singh has shown faith in democracy.

लेकिन गिद्धों, कितनी भी कोशिश कर लो
सच ये है कि डाक्टर साहब का सदन में होना तुम्हारे आका की कायरता की पोल खोलता है
ये है डाक्टर साहब की लोकतंत्र में आस्था, और एक तुम्हारे जुमलावीर हैं जो सदन से मुँह छुपाये भाग रहे हैं
लगे रहो चरणचम्पकों
"But vultures, try as you might. The truth is that the doctor's presence in the house exposes the cowardice of your boss. This is Dr. Sahab's faith in democracy, and one is your Jumlaveer who is running away from the House hiding his face. keep it up fellas," the party spokesperson said.
Shrinate said that BJP has sent its elders into a mental coma but 'our elders are our inspiration'
"Charanchampakon, This is Dr Sahab's dedication to democracy - this is his faith in the constitution of this country. BJP may have pushed its elders into a mental coma - our elders are our inspiration, our courage. Tell your boss to learn something - don't be a fugitive," she added in another tweet.
चरणचंपकों,

यह लोकतंत्र के प्रति डाक्टर साहब का समर्पण है - यह इस देश के संविधान में उनकी आस्था है
भाजपा ने अपने बुजुर्गों को भले मानसिक कोमा में धकेल दिया हो - हमारे बड़े हमारी प्रेरणा, हमारा हौसला हैं
