Responding to their claim, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said, “Rahul Gandhi is troubled because he is not getting the privilege he is used to being a part of a particular family.”
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also criticised Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, saying, “We want to run the House… This is not the personal drawing room of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. Everyone will have to stay within the rules. They are themselves running away from the discussion, because they are more interested in supporting Pakistan.”
