Senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar is making such statements these days, which is creating ruckus within the party. Recently Mani Shankar Aiyar had expressed his desire to make Pinarayi Vijayan the Chief Minister of Kerala again. He also praised all the works of the opposition government. There was already an uproar in the Congress party regarding this. Now Mani Shankar Aiyar has given another statement, through which he has directly targeted Rahul Gandhi. Mani Shankar Aiyar has said in a statement that he is not a ‘Rahulwadi’.

I am not a Rahulist

Actually, while talking to the media, Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has given a sharp statement about Rahul Gandhi. Mani Shankar Aiyar said, “Dr. Ambedkar’s biography is ‘a part but different’. That’s all I can say. Rahul Gandhi has forgotten that I am a party member. So, I am a Gandhian, a Nehruvian, a Rajivian, but not a Rahulian.” It is obvious that now due to this statement of Mani Shankar Aiyar, the turmoil in the Congress party has once again intensified.

Mani Shankar praised the government

Let us tell you that recently senior leader Mani Shankar Aiyar had also praised the Panchayati Raj model of the ruling LDF government. “In the presence of the Chief Minister, whom I am confident will be the next Chief Minister, I reiterate my appeal to make Kerala the best Panchayati Raj state in the country,” Iyer said at an international seminar named Vision 2031 International Conference on Democracy and Development. However, Congress distanced itself from Aiyar’s words and said that they were said personally. Let us tell you that assembly elections are to be held in Kerala this year. In such a situation, Mani Shankar Aiyar’s rebellion can create trouble for the Congress party.
