My disqualification has benefited me in more ways than one, he said at the National Press Club in Washington DC on Thursday. It has opened up new horizons for me, I have got a chance to redefine myself completely. I think BJP has given me a gift, frankly I don’t think they even realize it.
The former MP said, politics is not like a straight line, it goes in a completely different direction, it is random. So I think it’s clear right now that they’ve given me a gift…
In March this year, Rahul was disqualified as an MP after he was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison by a court in a defamation case against him.
He alleged, I am the first person in Indian history since 1947, who has been given the biggest punishment for defamation. My disqualification happened just after my speech on Adani in Parliament. This should make it clear what is going on in the country.
Rahul further said that he is not worried about the death threats.
The Congress leader said, I am not worried about the death threats. Everyone has to die. That’s what I learned from my grandmother (Indira Gandhi) and father (Rajiv Gandhi) – you don’t hold back for something like that.
Speaking at Stanford University on Wednesday, Rahul had said he never thought he would get the maximum sentence in a defamation case and be disqualified as an MP, and insisted that it gave him a lot of time to work Is.
The Congress leader, who is on a six-day visit to the US, is scheduled to meet several people in Washington DC and New York in the coming days.
He arrived in San Francisco on Tuesday.
