Amudarya News : The tension stemmed from Rahul Gandhi’s assertion of his authority as chairperson, with Dinesh Pratap Singh pushing back, citing Mr Gandhi’s own disregard for parliamentary procedures.
Uttar Pradesh Minister Dinesh Pratap Singh on Friday countered Rahul Gandhi, highlighting his own adherence to guidelines and questioning Gandhi’s authority after a heated argument erupted between them during a District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting in Rae Bareli, Lucknow. The clash took place while Rahul Gandhi was on a two-day visit to his constituency on September 10 to 11.
“Why should I accept his rights when he himself does not consider the rights of the Lok Sabha Speaker?… I protested any discussions out of the scope of the 43 schemes of DISHA… I am happy that 100% achievement was achieved in many programmes on the topics discussed by the officials of both the governments…,” said Mr Singh, a former Congress member now with the BJP, who has previously contested against Mr Gandhi’s family in Rae Bareli.
The altercation’s video spread rapidly on social media.
