In the ever-dramatic theater of indian politics, the parliament witnessed a new episode of its long-running saga: “Who’s to Blame?” The protagonists this time? bjp mp Pratap Sarangi and congress leader rahul Gandhi—because why not?
It all started with what should have been a regular day of protests. But, of course, it’s indian politics—regular days are rare. Amid the chaos, Pratap Sarangi, the BJP’s beloved firebrand, managed to sustain a head injury. Naturally, this called for some good old finger-pointing. Without skipping a beat, Sarangi declared that rahul gandhi had indirectly orchestrated his mishap. Yes, the same rahul gandhi who, according to bjp lore, can barely orchestrate his party.
Sarangi’s logic? gandhi allegedly pushed another mp, who then stumbled and collided with him. A domino effect, if you will—except this time, it wasn’t about policies toppling but people. rahul, of course, wasted no time spinning his side of the story. According to him, the real culprits were the bjp MPs who, in an unprecedented show of unity, decided to play bouncers and block his way into Parliament. Threats were issued, he claimed, and a melodramatic tussle ensued.
So, who’s telling the truth? Does it even matter? Both sides seem to be competing in the blame game Olympics, with gold medals for dramatics all but guaranteed.
Meanwhile, the actual reason for the protests—a debate over Union home minister amit Shah’s allegedly controversial remarks on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar—has been conveniently overshadowed. Who needs to talk about national icons when you can focus on who pushed whom? This is far more entertaining, after all.
And let’s not forget the supporting cast: the media, amplifying every sarcastic statement and every dramatic gesture, ensuring that the issue stays alive long enough to fuel prime-time debates. Somewhere in the noise, the people might be wondering, “Wait, what about governance?” But hush, that’s not part of the script.
In the end, the blame game circus rolls on. Injuries are tended to, accusations are hurled, and democracy remains, as always, a delightful soap opera. Stay tuned for the next episode—same parliament, same drama, just a different scapegoat.
