The Indian National Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi and the party’s lawmaker from Puducherry have become subject for BJP and other opposition parties with their recent controversial act.
On Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi visited flood-hit Puducherry. He was accompanied by V Narayanasamy, minister of state with the Prime Minister’s Office in the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government.
In a video, V Narayanasamy was seen holding a pair of slippers as Rahul Gandhi took off his shoes and walked barefoot in a flooded area. Then, this senior leader placed the slippers for Rahul who simply wore them without any protest. Speaking to media, Narayanasamy said that he had merely offered his own shoes.
“As a courtesy I offered my slippers as Mr Rahul Gandhi removed his shoes to walk barefoot in the water. Rahul carried his shoes throughout and he didn’t even let his security personnel carry them for him. I thought it was my responsibility that he (Rahul) has come to my state and should not get any injury. I am proud of it,” said Narayanasamy.
“He belongs to that school of thought that prioritises the dynasty. It does not believe in merit or age,” said BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli.
