Ravi Kishan Jokes About Rahul Gandhis Phone Tapping Allegations
BJP MP Ravi Kishan humorously responds to Rahul Gandhis phone tapping claims, suggesting a quest for a formula to turn potatoes into gold.
Gorakhpur, November 14 (Daily Kiran) : BJP MP Ravi Kishan made headlines on Saturday in Gorakhpur when he humorously addressed Rahul Gandhi‘s allegations of phone tapping in the Lok Sabha. Kishan quipped that the reason for tapping Gandhi’s phone was to discover how he could turn potatoes into gold.
This jest came a day after Gandhi reiterated his challenge for a one-on-one debate with Prime Minister Modi, claiming that his phone was being tapped at Modi’s behest.
In an interview with a news agency, Kishan remarked, “We were tapping his mobile phone because we genuinely wanted to know how he plans to turn potatoes into gold. Otherwise, the entire formula would rest with Rahul Gandhi.”
The Gorakhpur MP continued his playful jab at Gandhi, saying, “We also have fields and want to create gold from potatoes. That’s why his phone is being tapped, as he believes, because the secret to making gold from potatoes is in his phone.”
Kishan’s comments referenced a statement made by Gandhi during a public speech in Gujarat in 2017.
Additionally, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi joined in the critique, labeling the Congress party and the Gandhi family as “the James Bond of espionage.” He stated, “A party and a family that have been the ‘James Bond’ of spying will always link everything to surveillance. This is the same party and family that, twelve years ago, when in power, had their own Home Minister and Finance Minister’s phones under surveillance. When caught, they claimed it was just a piece of ‘chewing gum’ that got stuck. They truly are the ‘James Bond’ of spying.”
In response, Congress spokesperson Surendra Rajput demanded clarity from the BJP regarding the phone tapping allegations. He stated, “If Rahul Gandhi is making false statements, there should be an investigation against him. To uncover the truth, the Supreme Court should appoint a sitting judge to investigate.”
Rajput called for a probe to determine whether the government purchased Pegasus and if opposition leaders’ phones were indeed tapped, as Gandhi alleged.
