Rahul Gandhi has been relentlessly attacking the government for its handling of ties with China.
New Delhi:
Congressional leader Rahul Gandhi’s relentless criticism of the government has continued on China, the coronavirus pandemic and the economy, even as high-level leaders of his party have been questioning leadership over recent performance in the state elections of Bihar and voting elsewhere.
This morning, the 50-year-old former head of Congress criticized the government for China’s renewed threat in Doklam, writing on Twitter: “China’s geopolitical strategy cannot be counteracted by a PR-driven media strategy. This simple fact. It seems to elude the minds of those who run the GOI. ”
In the tweet, Gandhi shared an NDTV report on Doklam. New satellite images accessed by NDTV hint at a renewed threat from China in Doklam. In addition to establishing a village more than two kilometers within the territory of Bhutan on the eastern periphery of the disputed Doklam Plateau, China has built a road in the same area that extends approximately 9 kilometers within the territory of Bhutan, the images show. .
China’s geopolitical strategy cannot be countered by a public relations-driven media strategy.

India and China have also been locked in a confrontation in Ladakh since May. The border tensions have often been mentioned on Twitter by Gandhi, a deputy to the Wayanad Congress in Kerala, as he questioned the government about worsening ties with China.
However, Gandhi’s new attack comes amid the latest controversy to hit his party. On Sunday, Ghulam Nabi Azad, one of the party’s main dissidents, made a pointed comment about Bihar’s electoral debacle. “Elections are not fought from five-star hotels … We cannot win until we change this culture,” he said.
“The structure of our party has collapsed. We need to rebuild our structure and then if any leader is elected in that structure, it will work,” Azad said in an interview with the ANI news agency.
Azad’s comments came almost a week after Kapil Sibal criticized the party leadership in an interview with the Indian Express. Mr. Sibal had advised Congress to “recognize that we are in decline.”
As senior party colleagues who come out to express their views, Gandhi has been relentlessly attacking the government.
“The unplanned blockade of the Modi government pushed millions into poverty, endangered the health of citizens and compromised the future of students due to the digital divide. This is the bitter truth that the government of India is about hide with their blatant lies, “Gandhi tweeted yesterday. Over the past week, he has also posted tweets about the pandemic and the national economy.
