Rahul Gandhi did not attend the swearing-in ceremony of the Vice President, Shinde faction said, 'Who repeatedly...':

News Topical, Digital Desk : CP Radhakrishnan took oath as the 15th Vice President of India on Friday (12 September). During this ceremony, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi was not present. Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam of Eknath Shinde faction has attacked on this. Accusing Rahul Gandhi, he said that by not attending the swearing-in ceremony of the Vice President, he has violated the Constitution. The leader of the Shinde faction also said that the Vice President is a constitutional post and he has nothing to do with any party or politics.

Shiv Sena spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam said in a conversation with the media, “This is a very unfortunate matter. The Vice President of India is a constitutional post above all party demands. He has nothing to do with any party or politics. This is the tradition and protocol of our country. This is a state etiquette. Whenever the swearing-in ceremony of the Vice President takes place, the opposition leader and other leaders are also present in it.”

Rahul Gandhi has no faith in the Constitution- Sanjay Nirupam

The leader of the Shinde faction further said, "The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, who repeatedly waves the Red Book of the Constitution in his hand, says that we want to protect the Constitution. By not attending the swearing-in ceremony of the Vice President today, he has torn the Constitution to shreds. I ask you to stop pretending to protect the Constitution. All these things have no meaning. You do not have faith in the Constitution."

Your eyes are only on power - Sanjay Nirupam

Attacking Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, he said, "Your eyes are only on power, on the chair. You are not working by connecting with the common people. When there is flood in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, you go to Malaysia and relax. If you relax in Malaysia and do not connect with the people, then how will you win the elections? Sometimes you blame EVMs, sometimes on voter list, and sometimes you accuse of vote theft. Sometimes votes are cut, sometimes votes are increased. Nothing is going to happen with this fake narrative."
