Stop targetting Rahul Gandhi, Congress leaders warn Anna Hazare

Congress leaders and activists have warned social activist Anna Hazare to stop targetting party general secretary Rahul Gandhi with the backing of the opposition.

"Hazare is attacking him (Rahul Gandhi) for weakening the Lokpal Bill to help vested interests tarnish his image. Congressmen will not tolerate this," said Congress Member of Parliament PV Hanumanth Rao.

Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma said: "The opposition is scared of Rahul Gandhi and Anna has become their spokesperson, especially that of the RSS. Is he a laat sahab, let him come to UP (elections), we will see him there." He was reacting to Anna Hazare's comments against Gandhi.

"Anna is trying to scare Congress but we are not afraid of him. If he is 75, then Congress is 125-years-old," Verma said.

Congress leader Satyavrat Chaturvedi said, "His (Anna's) word is not the one of Lord Brahma. Is he Satyawadi Harishchandra?, I do not agree with this."

Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh said: "The BJP is supporting Anna Hazare to divert public attention from the fact that Sangh Parivar supporters have been arrested for terrorist activities."

Digvijaya also said Team Anna's campaign has always been political.

"The intent of Team Anna, Ramdev and Sri Sri Ravishankar is political, their motive is to create problems for the Congress," Digvijaya said.

Law and Justice Minister Salman Khurshid said: "Parliamentary democracy is based on discussion and there should be a discussion on every issue."

Asked whether opposition did the right thing in discussing Lokpal issue outside Parliament, Khurshid said "this should also be discussed in Parliament."

Union Minister for Non-Renewable Energy Sources Farooq Abdullah said: "Parliament is supreme. So, they (Opposition) should put forth their views in Parliament which is the right forum."

Union Agriculture Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar said there was nothing wrong with politicians sharing the dais with Anna Hazare and discussing the Lokpal issue.

It is good that all parties emphasised the supremacy of Parliament which cannot be overlooked. A debate can take place at any place. It could be done at a seminar or in an open ground," Pawar said.

Lok Sabha polls: Campaign gets personal; Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi attack at each other

NEW DELHI | MUMBAI: Toffee, Tata and Ambedkar entered 2014's campaign lexicon on Monday as Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi intensified what's already become a virtual competition of personal attacks. Adding to this were similar attacks on rivals by other leaders of both parties. Gandhi's targeting of Modi, which resulted in Tatas being named in political attacks for the first time this poll season, seemed more dramatic, as it persists in naming big companies. But so far at least, pundits in finance, marketing and academia don't see such a strategy change delivering major benefits for Congress. Gandhi, continuing his attack on Modi and India Inc, named Tatas in addition to Adani and termed Modi's policies as a 'toffee model'. "You get a toffee at Rs 1, but Modi gave away 44,000 acre at Rs 1 (per) sq m," Gandhi said. "This is not Gujarat model, this is toffee model." On Tatas, Gandhi said, "Tata can get a loan for 20 yea...

Opposition parties don’t respect women: Rahul Gandhi

TUMKUR: AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi made a strong pitch for women's empowerment at his rally on Sunday, and said it's the only way for the country to become a superpower. Addressing a women's rally at Tumkur, 70km from Bangalore, Rahul said the country today was half a superpower because women had not been given equal status. "India will not become a superpower if women aren't given opportunities. We need equal representation for women at all levels to make them empowered," he told a mammoth gathering. Rahul, who is also co-chairman of the Congress campaign committee for the LS polls, was here on a two-day tour. Chanting the women empowerment mantra, he was critical of his own party. "Men outnumber women at this rally. This is the situation the Congress is facing today. Men are preferred over women while giving tickets for assembly and Lok Sabha elections. This has to change and I want more women to attend rallies and participate in the el...
