BJP’s Attack on His Malaysia Visit
Rahul Gandhi’s Malaysia trip was never officially detailed by Congress, and BJP strongly criticized it. The ruling party accused him of frequently disappearing. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya even shared a picture of Rahul Gandhi and claimed that he was spending holidays in Malaysia. He said, “It seems the heat and dust of Bihar’s politics were too much for Congress’s prince, so he had to take a vacation.” The Malaysia trip took place immediately after the conclusion of the Bihar Voter Rights Yatra.
