Rajeev Chandrashekhar Slams Rahul Gandhi Over Electoral Bond Issue

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Union Minister and BJP Candidate from Thiruvananthapuram Rajeev Chandrashekhar on Tuesday came heavily upon Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and asserted that he should be the last person to comment on funding and dubious sources of funds.

Rajeev Chandrashekhar stated "My suggestion to everybody who has some common sense and who doesn't want to spend too much time pursuing useless commentary is to ignore people like Rahul Gandhi because nothing he ever says makes any sense. He has never done anything useful for the people of India. Even today, when he is on a campaign trail, he has not one idea to put forth for the development of the people. The electoral bond issue, as the Government of India and the prime minister have clarified, repeatedly, is a move to move election funding from black money to white money, to unaccounted and untraceable cash to accountable and traceable bonds. Rahul Gandhi is the last person who should talk about funding and dubious sources of funds. We know Bofors, we know all of those scams that his family is legendary for. So my suggestion to people is, as I do, I ignore the man because he does not add any value to what I want to do or how I want to live, or indeed any of the 1.4 billion Indians want to live."
