PM Takes Aim at Kejriwal and Rahul in Lok Sabha with Jabs About ‘Jacuzzis,’ ‘Sheesh Mahal,’ and ‘Photo Ops in Huts’

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal of engaging in “poisonous politics” and criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for labeling President Droupadi Murmu’s speech in Parliament as “boring.” During a two-hour response to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address in the Lok Sabha, Modi launched a pointed attack on Kejriwal, who had claimed that the BJP-led Haryana government was responsible for “poisoning” the Yamuna River.“We adhere to the spirit of the Constitution; our politics is not toxic,” Modi stated.

In a subtle reference to Kejriwal and the alleged opulence of ‘Sheesh Mahal’, Modi remarked, “Certain leaders prioritize jacuzzi amenities and luxurious showers, whereas our focus is on ensuring every household has access to clean water. After 75 years of independence, over 16 crore homes, which account for 75% of households, still lack tap connections.”

“In five years, our government has successfully provided pure tap water to 12 crore families,” he added.

Modi also indirectly criticized Rahul Gandhi for his remarks regarding President Murmu’s speech on the first day of the Budget Session. He commented, “Those who find entertainment in photo ops in the slums may perceive discussions about the poor in Parliament as tedious.”

Highlighting various public-driven projects and government initiatives aimed at harnessing national resources, Modi emphasized that his administration has utilized funds to build the nation rather than create luxurious residences, referencing the alleged misuse of taxpayer money for ‘Sheesh Mahal.’

“In the past decade, media outlets were rife with reports of scams and corruption. During our governance, we have saved significant amounts of money for public use, not for constructing ‘Sheesh Mahal,’ but for nation-building,” he stated.

Continuing his criticism of the AAP government in Delhi, Modi stressed his administration’s commitment to providing bright futures for youth, contrasting it with parties he described as “AAPda” (a tragedy) for young people.

Modi also took a veiled shot at Rahul Gandhi, suggesting that “some” individuals make reckless comments about foreign policy, even to the detriment of the nation. He remarked that these individuals believe they must address foreign policy topics to appear knowledgeable.

He suggested the book ‘JFK’s Forgotten Crisis,’ which documents exchanges between India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and U.S. President John F. Kennedy, should be read by those genuinely interested in foreign policy.

“For those who seek a true understanding of foreign policy or wish to contribute meaningfully, I recommend ‘JFK’s Forgotten Crisis.’ This book, authored by a distinguished foreign policy scholar, covers critical conversations between Nehru and Kennedy,” said Modi.

Highlighting the book’s relevance in reflecting the challenges India faced during pivotal moments in history, Modi encouraged its reading to understand the intricacies of foreign policy during critical times.

He wrapped up his remarks by referencing the BJP’s recent victories in Haryana and the success of the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra’s elections.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
