Birsa Munda Jayanti: Congress Leaders Skip Parliament Ceremony, BJP's Pradeep Bhandari Targets Rahul Gandhi

A political controversy has erupted over the absence of Congress leaders from the Birsa Munda Jayanti celebrations held at the Parliament complex. The event was organised to mark the 151st birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, with President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other prominent leaders paying tribute to the tribal freedom fighter. However, no Congress leader was present at the ceremony, prompting questions from the BJP. Speaking to ABP News, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari claimed that all Members of Parliament had been invited to the programme and accused the Congress of deliberately staying away. Bhandari launched a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Gandhi-Vadra family, alleging that they harbour hostility towards India's tribal communities. He questioned why Rahul Gandhi had time to attend political meetings in Hyderabad but did not participate in the Parliament ceremony honouring Birsa Munda. Bhandari also alleged that Congress leaders had been instructed to stay away from the event. Referring to past remarks involving former President Droupadi Murmu, he accused the Congress leadership of disrespecting tribal communities. These claims have added a fresh political dimension to the Birsa Munda Jayanti celebrations, with the BJP questioning the Congress's absence from an event dedicated to honouring one of India's most respected tribal icons.
