Udupi: Hitting hard on the Modi led central government, Rajya Sabha MP Oscar Fernandes said that if the central government has failed to locate Rahul Gandhi, how can they lead the nation. He was speaking to the mediapersons on his visit to the Congress Bhavan to take part in the workers meet here on April 4.
“Rahul is on a brief work and he will discharge his duties in Congress as promised by Sonia Gandhi. Rahul is not threatening the party leaders for any post,” he added.
The Congress party will function well with the coordination of the senior leaders. The leaders have no problems with Priyanka Gandhi joining politics, because it is her decision.
“The remarks on Sonia Gandhi by a Central Minister has saddened us. Gandhi has declared her stand on the same,” he added.
The problems of the fishermen relating to diesel subsidy and selling rules have been discussed with the concerned Minister. He also said that he will discuss the matter with the Chief Minister during his visit to Delhi on April 6.
Later, Oscar Ferandes participated in the Congress workers meet. District Congress president and also the Byndoor MLA Gopal Poojary, KPCC member M A Gafoor, Sarasu D Bangera, Women Congress president Veronica Corenelio, Ashok Kodavoor, Sarala Kanchan, Sunil Bangera and others were present.
Why should BJP bother to spend tax payers’ money to locate Rahul Gandhi? According to Oscar, if you cannot locate Rahul’s whereabouts, you are unfit to govern the country. What kind of immature statement is this coming from a prominent Congress leader! Rahul is important to only to his party and it is for them to find out where he is.
Oscar is out of ideas. It is not the job of the central government to find the whereabouts of some one who is on self proclaimed vanavaasa. Have the family members given any police complaint? Tab naa?
