Rahul Gandhi becoming 'doomsday man' for India: Nirmala Sitharaman

"We need to recognize these two tendencies of the Congress party...this makes it clear that their belief in a democratically elected Parliamentary system is completely finished," Sitharaman said.

Responding to the former Congress chief's speech on Thursday, during which he talked about farm laws but declined to speak on the Budget, she said, "He is probably becoming a doomsday man for India."

"I wanted to know from the Congress why it took U-turn on the farm laws but no reply came," she said, adding that Gandhi did not tell the House why Congress Governments in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh did not waive farm loans promised in their manifesto.

"Gandhi did not refer to any clause in three agriculture bills which was against farmers," she said.

Sitharaman further said Gandhi did not talk about the farmers' issue in Punjab where Congress is in power and the steps being taken by the government with regard to stubble burning.

Congress party is only concerned about "Hum Do and Hamare Do," Sitharaman said adding that she expected Gandhi to return the land which "Damadji" had taken from farmers at a pittance.

Sitharaman also accused Gandhi of insulting constitutional authorities recalling the incidence when the Congress leader tore an ordinance promulgated by its own government led by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

"Regretting that the Congress has joined the break India fringe group and continuously creating false narrative to demean India," she said.
