During the campaign for Bihar Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a strong attack on the Congress, questioning the MP and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi’s trip to Malaysia, reminding the late Manmohan Singh’s 12-year-old tweet that showed how the party worked.

BJP IT Cell Chief Amit Malviya posted on X. “The heat and dust of Bihar’s politics seemed too great for Yuvraj in Congress who had to hurry and hurry for a break.

“In any case, while people are struggling with real problems, Rahul Gandhi is busy disappearing and completing the art of holiday,” he wrote, posting a photo of the Congress leader.

In another post, Malviya wrote: “Twelve years ago, the conditions of our country were forced to post what led to Upa’s failure and what led to confusion about it, even the official handle of the Prime Minister’s Office. What had to be if the PMO itself had to issue such a message?

A PMO tweet at the time stated, “I am pleased to be able to work for the Congress Party under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.”

Gandhi and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav held voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar and questioned the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the Election Commission for two weeks. This campaign ended on September 1st. Gandhi and Yadav call Saa a “undemocratic” and “biased” movement of “voting theft.”

Gandhi’s foreign visits were often the topic of discussion and speculation during parliamentary sessions or election campaigns.

During this year’s budget session, the BJP questioned Gandhi’s frequent trips to Vietnam and other countries. “I heard that during the New Year, during Holi, Rahul Gandhi was in Vietnam. He spends more time in Vietnam than in his constituency. What is the reason for his so much love for Vietnam? He needs to explain his extraordinary love for Vietnam.

“As an opposition leader, Rahul Gandhi holds an important position, and his numerous secret trips, especially during the Congress session, raises serious questions about validity and national security,” Malviya said in a post in X.

Previously, Gandhi had left for Vietnam in seven days of mourning after Singh’s death on December 26th last year. The visit also sparked criticism with the BJP. While the country lamented the end of Singh, Gandhi said that he had flew to Vietnam to ring in the New Year. The BJP also accused Singh of using his death in “convenient politics” while he was in mourning.
