Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Sunday embarked on a jungle safari in Panarpani located in Madhya Pradesh’s Satpura Tiger Reserve, following his visit to the Panchmarhi hill town in Narendrapuram, news agency PTI reported.

Gandhi arrived in Narmadapuram a day earlier to participate in the Madhya Pradesh district Congress presidents’ training camp.

Earlier, addressing reporters in Panchmarhi, Gandhi said he believes that like Haryana, “vote theft” took place in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh too. “Vote theft is an issue and SIR now, it is about covering it up and institutionalising the system,” the Congress MP had claimed.

‘Shows Gandhi’s priorities’: BJP reacts

Bharatiya Janata Party’s Shehzad Jai Hind, over a post on X, took a dig at Gandhi’s priorities, and called him the “Leader of Paryatan and partying.”

He wrote: “LoP means Leader of Paryatan and partying for Rahul Gandhi. Even as Bihar elections are on : Rahul Gandhi goes for vacation. Election in Bihar, Rahul Gandhi enjoying a “Jungle Safari” in Pachmarhi. This shows his priorities.”

“When they lose elections they will blame ECI & do a power point presentation on H Files (holiday files),” he said, in an apparent reference to Gandhi’s recent press conference where he alleged that the Election Commission and the BJP were working together to commit vote fraud.

Ta Umr Congress yeh galti karti rahi. Dhool chehre pe thi Congress aaina saaf karti rahi,” he added.
