The opposition leader in the remarks of Lok Sabha Rahula Gandhi on Saturday (August 2, 2025) that former Finance Minister Arnu Jaitley was reportedly sent to endanger his position in controversial farms, provoked a war on the words between the ruling Bharatiya Janat. However, the leaders of Congress pointed to the meeting that Mr. Jaitley and Mr. Gandhi had in 2015 and 2018.
“We’re not cowards”
On Saturday (August 2, 2025), who spoke to the annual legal legal conclave of the All India Congress, Mr. Gandhi said: “I shouldn’t say it because he’s not with us anymore, but I will still say. Congress, not cowards.”

Almost immediately, these remarks have triggered reactions from BJP leaders and trade union ministers, although Mr. Jaitley Rohan’s son published on social media. Mr. Jaitley said to X: “Rahul Gandhi now claims that my late father, Arun Jaitley, threatened him before farming law. Let me remind me, my father died in 2019.
Irresponsible, says BJP
Soon thereafter, the reactions were poured from the Minister of Finance Nirmala Sithaman, who called Mr. Gandhi the “face of irresponsibility”, coal and mines G. Kishan Reddy, main Minister Goa Pramod Sawant, and BJP leader BL Santosh, all pointed out that Mr. Jaitley brought to 2020.
He responds to the controversy, the head of the congress and the chief of the media and publicity Pawan Khera said, “Arnu Jaitley did not endanger it in itself; obviously he only handed it over. The threat came from above. When history was written, many such accounts were written.
Mrs. Sithaman, who responded to Mr. Gandhi’s claim, described the statement as “contemptible” and added in the post on X: “India needs a strong opposition party. The irresponsible leadership hurts his party @India and Earth. While Mr. Santosh said that “only a sick mind” could distort things about people who are no longer with us, Mr. Sawant and Mr. Reddy called him to “drag the name” of the deceased statwart for “selfish policy”.
Mr. Khera told the intelligence service: “Let these people bjp jump around. BJP itself makes our publicity. We are very happy. Let them do it.”
