Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress MP from Rae Bareli, criticized the BJP-led NDA government on Monday, July 29. Using the ‘chakravyuh’ metaphor as a leitmotif, the Congress leader highlighted that’ six people were controlling’ India. The Congress leader listed “Narendra Modi, Amit Shah” and four others as the ‘six individuals’ he believes are controlling the ‘chakravyuh.’
During the Lok Sabha debate on the Union Budget for 2024-25, Rahul Gandhi asserted that fear proliferates nationwide through a ‘chakravyuh,’ trapping everyone in its grip, including BJP MPs, farmers, and workers.
“Thousands of years ago, in Kurukshetra, six people trapped Abhimanyu in a ‘Chakravyuh’ and killed him… I did some research and found that ‘Chakravyuh’ is also known as ‘Padmavuyh’ – which means ‘Lotus formation’. ‘Chakravyuh’ is in the shape of a Lotus. In the 21st century, a new ‘Chakravyuh’ has been formed – that too in the form of a Lotus. Prime Minister wears its symbol on his chest.”
“What was done with Abhimanyu is being down with India – the youth, farmers, women, small and medium businesses…Today, too there are six people in the centre of ‘Chakravyuh’…Six people control today too -Narendra Modi, Amit Shah.”
(Please note: The names of other four members have been expunged on direction from Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla)
After Speaker Om Birla intervened, Gandhi said, “…If you want, I will omit the names of (Mention of names that have been expunged) and take just three names (PM Modi, Amit Shah) .”
Rahul Gandhi recently drew a parallel between a Mahabharat legend and contemporary politics, referring to the ‘chakravyuh’—a complex, multi-tiered formation in which Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna and Subhadra in Itihasa Mahabharata, was trapped and killed. Gandhi noted that the ‘chakravyuh,’ also known as ‘Padmavyūha,’ resembles a lotus, which is also the symbol of the BJP.
