On Bihar flood tour Congress MP Tariq Anwar lifted by local, BJP calls it "VVIP mode"

Terming it a "sense of entitlement," the BJP leader came down heavily on Anwar asking if he needs a "VVIP protocol" in flood affected areas too.

In a social media post on X, Poonawalla wrote, "Sense of entitlement of Congress. Even in flood affected areas they want VVIP protocol? Kharge ji insults farmers. Congress MP Tariq Anwar mocks flood relief - sits on shoulders of people while "touring" flood affected areas. Congress MP in VVIP mode. Rahul Gandhi in Vacation Mode. AAP in hiding Mode. Only PM Modi in work mode."

Meanwhile, speaking to ANI, Poonawalla accused Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge of "disrespecting" farmers alleging that when a farmer was expressing his grief to Kharge, he allegedly insulted him.

The BJP leader alleged that Congress is against the farmers and their interests.

He said, "Congress disrespects farmers, soldiers and the Constitution of India...Yesterday, a farmer expressed his pain to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge and Kharge ji told him to run away. This shows their attitude towards the farmers. Congress did not even implement the Swaminathan Commission report for 8 years. Thousands of farmers have died by suicide in Karnataka...Congress is against the farmers... In one of the flood-affected areas, Congress MP Tariq Anwar was carried on the back during flood inspection..." (ANI)
