Sarcasm: BJP MP on Tejashwi’s ‘Rahul will be next PM’ remark
In a recent statement, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav sparked a controversy by claiming that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will become the Prime Minister after the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. However, BJP MP Janardan Singh Sigriwal has now responded to the statement, terming it sarcastic and far from reality.
Sigriwal’s remarks came in response to Tejashwi’s statement, which was widely reported in the media. According to the report, Tejashwi Yadav said, “Rahul Gandhi will become the Prime Minister after the 2029 Lok Sabha polls. He has the capacity and vision to take the country forward.” Sigriwal, however, took to social media to express his disagreement with Tejashwi’s statement, saying that it was nothing more than an attempt at lip service.
“I think this is their art of lip service [and]…far from reality,” Sigriwal tweeted. “Neither is there a seat vacant for PM nor for CM in Bihar,” he added. Sigriwal’s statement was likely a reference to the fact that the current Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has already won three consecutive elections and is expected to continue as the PM for a fourth term in the 2029 polls. Similarly, Nitish Kumar, the current Chief Minister of Bihar, has been in power for several years and is likely to continue as the CM for a long time to come.
Tejashwi’s statement was seen as an attempt to gain political mileage by praising Rahul Gandhi, who has been out of power for several years. However, Sigriwal’s response suggests that the statement may have backfired, as it was seen as an attempt at sarcasm rather than a genuine endorsement of Rahul Gandhi’s leadership abilities.
Sigriwal’s statement also highlights the importance of substance over form in politics. While Tejashwi’s statement may have been designed to generate publicity and attract attention, it ultimately lacked substance and was seen as an empty gesture. As Sigriwal pointed out, neither the PM nor the CM position in Bihar is vacant, which makes Tejashwi’s statement even more bizarre.
This episode also highlights the need for politicians to be more careful with their words. As Sigriwal’s response shows, even a seemingly innocuous statement can be interpreted in a negative light and can damage one’s reputation. Politicians must be mindful of the impact of their words and avoid making statements that can be seen as sarcastic or insincere.
In conclusion, Sigriwal’s response to Tejashwi’s statement highlights the importance of substance over form in politics. While Tejashwi’s statement may have been designed to generate publicity, it ultimately lacked substance and was seen as an empty gesture. As Sigriwal pointed out, neither the PM nor the CM position in Bihar is vacant, which makes Tejashwi’s statement even more bizarre.
