Rahul Gandhi, who was seen as the major opposition to PM Modi in the country's politics, has faced a significant setback in his political career. He was found guilty by the court and handed a two-year prison sentence, causing his expulsion from Parliament according to the regulations. This has led to an escalation in political tensions, with the Congress party claiming that the charges against Rahul Gandhi were linked to his constant criticism of Adani. As a result, Rahul Gandhi's political activities have been significantly curtailed for the past eight years.
In a press release prior to his disqualification, Rahul Gandhi mistakenly referred to himself as an "unfortunately I am an MP," which was subsequently corrected by Jairam Ramesh. This suggests that he may have already anticipated the possibility of being disqualified from his position.
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi has vowed to continue his fight for democracy despite being disqualified from the Lok Sabha. He accused the BJP of diverting attention from questions related to the Adani group by alleging that he insulted the OBC community. Rahul also said that he was disqualified because the Prime Minister was scared of his next speech on the Adani issue in the House. However, he remains undeterred and said that disqualification doesn't matter to him. Rahul thanked all opposition parties for supporting him and declared that he will continue to do his penance, adding that Gandhi does not apologize to anyone.
After disqualification he may be asked to leave his bunglow at Tuglak Lane.
