'It's a Joke': Kangana Ranaut Blasts Comparison Between Indira Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi
Kangana Ranaut's Outrage Over Indira Gandhi-Rahul Gandhi Comparison
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has vehemently denounced the comparison of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, terming it "a joke." Ranaut's remarks came in response to a recent statement by senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, who had drawn parallels between Gandhi and Indira Gandhi.
Ranaut's Fiery Response
In a scathing Instagram post, Ranaut unleashed her anger over the comparison, calling it an insult to Indira Gandhi's legacy. She asserted that Gandhi lacked his grandmother's intelligence, leadership qualities, and charisma.
Ranaut elaborated on her criticism, stating that Indira Gandhi was a "lioness" who had led the country through wars and other challenges. She contrasted this with Gandhi's perceived indecisiveness and lack of political acumen.
Expert Opinions on the Comparison
Political analysts have also weighed in on the comparison, with many expressing skepticism over the validity of Singh's claims. They argue that Gandhi has not yet demonstrated the same level of leadership as his grandmother.
According to The Hindu, "the comparison between Rahul Gandhi and Indira Gandhi is far-fetched and does not hold up to scrutiny."
Implications for Congress
Ranaut's outburst has sparked a fresh wave of scrutiny over the Congress party's leadership crisis. Critics have long questioned Gandhi's ability to lead the party to electoral success.
Recent polls indicate that Gandhi's popularity among voters has declined significantly, casting doubt on his ability to revive the party's fortunes.
