BJP leader Vishwas Sarang criticised Rahul Gandhi’s upcoming Balaghat tour, labeling it political tourism and urging the opposition leader to show responsibility.
BJP officials in Madhya Pradesh have launched a verbal attack on Rahul Gandhi ahead of his scheduled visit to Balaghat. Minister Vishwas Sarang, speaking at a party event, described the leader’s trip as “political tourism” and warned that opposition figures must demonstrate responsibility and seriousness in their actions.
The criticism comes as the Congress chief plans to address local issues in the district, a move the ruling party says is aimed at garnering electoral mileage rather than genuine public service. Sarang’s remarks underscore the BJP’s strategy of framing opposition rallies as publicity stunts.
No official response from Rahul Gandhi or the Congress party has been recorded at the time of reporting, and the Balaghat visit is expected to proceed as planned later this week.
