Mahadangal: Rahul Gandhi Once Opposed Lalu’s Relief Ordinance, Now Shares Stage | ABP NEWS

Home Minister Amit Shah has questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s consistency and moral position in light of his current political alliances. Shah referred to the 2013 incident when Rahul Gandhi had publicly opposed and criticized an ordinance brought by the then UPA government, which sought to protect convicted politicians from immediate disqualification. The ordinance, introduced after Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted in the fodder scam, aimed to provide a grace period of three months for convicted MPs and MLAs to appeal their cases. Rahul had called the move “complete nonsense” and forced the Manmohan Singh-led government to withdraw it. Now, with Rahul Gandhi politically aligned with Lalu Prasad Yadav in Bihar, BJP leaders are calling out what they describe as a “double standard.” They question whether Rahul’s current support reflects political compulsions or a shift in principles. The issue comes at a time when Bihar is preparing for upcoming elections, and the BJP appears to be reintroducing the corruption narrative to challenge the opposition, which is focused on issues like alleged vote tampering and administrative failures. The central question remains: has political morality become flexible in the face of electoral strategy?
