Chandigarh, Sep 15, 2025: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh today came down heavily on LoP Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for what he described as “shedding crocodile tears” over the grave flood situation in Punjab.
Chugh said that when lakhs of Punjabis were marooned, struggling to save their homes, fields and families, Rahul Gandhi was busy enjoying a comfortable time elsewhere. “Now, when the waters have started receding and people are left counting their losses, he has suddenly woken up and come for a cosmetic photo-op exercise,” Chugh remarked.
He questioned why the entire Congress high command, including the Gandhi family and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, chose to remain silent for more than a month while Punjab battled the worst floods in recent memory. “This indifference is not new. It is the same callous and insensitive approach that Congress has historically shown towards Punjab—beginning from the dark days of Operation Bluestar and thereafter,” Chugh pointed out.
The BJP leader said Rahul Gandhi’s sudden concern came only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally visited Punjab, toured flood-hit areas, and assured affected families of timely assistance. “Rahul’s belated drama is nothing but an attempt to score cheap political points, rubbing salt on the wounds of suffering Punjabis,” Chugh added.
He asserted that the Congress party must stop exploiting Punjab’s tragedies for political theatre. “At a time when Punjabis need real relief and rehabilitation, Rahul Gandhi is bringing shame to the state with his hypocrisy and hollow gestures,” Chugh said.
