“Where is Rahul Gandhi?”: Sitharaman Slams Congress over Tamil Nadu Hooch Tragedy

Amidst the tragic deaths due to spurious liquor consumption in Tamil Nadu, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has taken aim at the Congress, demanding answers from party leader Rahul Gandhi on his silence in the wake of the crisis.

The tragedy, which has claimed the lives of over 20 people and left many more hospitalized, has sparked outrage and calls for accountability. In the midst of this, Sitharaman, a senior BJP leader, has targeted the Congress, accusing the party of being silent on the issue.

“Where is Rahul Gandhi?” she questioned, highlighting the absence of any public statement or action from the Congress leader on the tragedy. She further criticized the Congress for its “silence” and lack of empathy towards the victims and their families.

Sitharaman’s pointed remarks have raised further questions about the Congress’s response to the crisis. While the party has expressed its condolences, the lack of a more proactive and visible stance from its leadership has fueled criticism.

The tragedy has also brought into focus the issue of spurious liquor consumption in the state. With authorities investigating the source of the contaminated alcohol, the incident has raised concerns about the effectiveness of existing regulations and the need for stricter measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

The Congress, however, has defended its stance, stating that it is closely monitoring the situation and offering support to the affected families. The party has also criticized the state government’s handling of the crisis, demanding a thorough investigation and swift action against those responsible.

The political discourse surrounding the Tamil Nadu hooch tragedy is likely to intensify in the coming days. With the focus shifting towards accountability and prevention, the absence of a strong and visible response from the Congress leadership could further erode the party’s credibility in the eyes of the public.
