Janhit: Amit Shah Calls Out Rahul Gandhi on ‘Double Standards’ in Politics | ABP NEWS

On August 20, the government introduced the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill in Parliament, which led to intense protests from the opposition. The opposition even tore the bill and threw it at Home Minister Amit Shah, sparking a debate on political ethics and morality. Amit Shah criticized Rahul Gandhi for what he called a flip-flop in his moral stance over the years. Shah reminded the house of an incident 13 years ago when Rahul Gandhi had publicly condemned an ordinance introduced by the Manmohan Singh government to save Lalu Prasad Yadav’s membership in Parliament. Rahul Gandhi had called the ordinance “complete nonsense” and had figuratively torn it apart during a press conference. However, Shah pointed out that today, Rahul Gandhi supports political figures who remain in office despite corruption charges and jail sentences. The incident highlights the changing nature of political ethics in India, where resignation for moral reasons has become rare, and political survival often takes precedence. This debate raises important questions about accountability and integrity in Indian politics, especially when lawmakers’ actions seem inconsistent over time.
