BJP MP Kangana Ranaut on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, over his scheduled visit to Germany, stating that “this person has no substance and strength of character”.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Ranaut said, “I don’t keep track of his tours, nor do I read any news about him. So what can I say about his tours? But it’s pretty obvious to everyone why his party has fallen to single digits.”
“I don’t want to comment on this kind of character because you know that person has no substance, strength of character,” she added.
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi’s upcoming visit to Berlin has triggered a fresh political controversy, with the BJP criticising him for travelling abroad while the crucial winter session of Parliament is still underway. Gandhi is set to attend a major Indian Overseas Congress event in Berlin on December 17, where he will interact with IOC leaders from various European countries.
The Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) has described the visit as an important outreach programme aimed at bolstering the party’s engagement with the global Indian community. According to the IOC, Rahul Gandhi will address the Indian diaspora in Berlin on December 17, 2025, and Presidents of IOC chapters from across Europe will assemble to deliberate on NRI concerns, ways to strengthen the Congress Party, and strategies to broaden the party’s ideological footprint and ideology.
