Ghulam Nabi Azad, a former Congress party leader, has claimed that Rahul Gandhi is immature and childish. He also said that the Congress party would've fared better if Sonia Gandhi was still the president.
Azad's comments come at a time when the Congress is facing a leadership crisis, with Rahul Gandhi refusing to step down as party president despite the party's dismal performance in the recently-concluded Lok Sabha elections.
Azad's comments are likely to further widen the rift within the party, with many leaders already having called for Rahul Gandhi to resign.
Do I agree with Ghulam Nabi Azad that Rahul Gandhi is immature and childish?
Rahul Gandhi strikes me as a mature and responsible politician. He has always been serious about his work and has taken his responsibilities seriously. He has always been modest and down-to-earth. I believe he is an excellent role model for our country's youth.
There is no doubt that Rahul Gandhi is facing a lot of criticism within his own party at the moment. However, whether or not you agree with Azad's assessment of Rahul Gandhi, it is important to remember that the Congress party is going through a tough time at the moment.
The party's performance in the Lok Sabha elections was extremely disappointing, and Rahul Gandhi has come under fire for his handling of the campaign.
However, it is also important to remember that the Congress is still the main opposition party in India, and it is important for the party to regroup and prepare for the next elections.
It is also worth noting that Ghulam Nabi Azad is not the only Congress leader to have criticised Rahul Gandhi in recent times. Shashi Tharoor, another Congress leader, has also said that Rahul Gandhi needs to 'grow up' and take responsibility for the party's poor performance in the Lok Sabha elections.
So what do you think that the Congress party needs to regroup and prepare for the next elections? Let us know in the comments below.
