Allergic to 'Congress grass': Piyush Goyal's jibe at opposition Congress in Rajya Sabha

IndiaTimes Thursday, 21 December 2023
Piyush Goyal, leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha, took a jibe at the Congress, stating that he is allergic to 'Congress grass', an invasive weed. Goyal asked Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav about this weed during the Question Hour. Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar mentioned that Yadav comes from a place where the weed was a big challenge. Yadav, a senior BJP leader, agreed to meet Goyal separately to discuss the issue. 'Congress grass' or parthenium hysterophorus, originally from tropical America, was accidentally introduced to India in 1955.

LS Polls 2024: Congress manifesto launch | Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge slam BJP, Modi | Oneindia News

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.
