New Delhi, Dec 19 (V7N) — A heated exchange outside the Indian Parliament has become the centre of a political storm after allegations surfaced that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pushed BJP MP Pratap Chandra Sarangi during a scuffle. The incident, which reportedly injured Sarangi and another BJP leader, has ignited tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress.

A video posted by news outlet ANI on social media platform X has gone viral, adding fuel to the controversy. In the video, Sarangi, being wheeled into an ambulance, initially claimed that another MP fell on him after being pushed by Rahul Gandhi. However, when pressed further by a journalist, Sarangi appeared to change his statement, saying, “Yes, Rahul pushed me.”

This back-and-forth has triggered widespread speculation and ridicule online, with many questioning the credibility of the claims. The incident occurred amid ongoing protests and arguments in Parliament over Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s remarks about Ambedkar, which had already escalated tensions between the government and the opposition.

Congress has denied the allegations, dismissing them as a political stunt by the BJP to distract from pressing issues. BJP leaders, however, have called for accountability, accusing Rahul Gandhi of misconduct and demanding an apology.

The scuffle has also sparked a debate on decorum and security around Parliament premises. While the incident remains under investigation, it has deepened the divide between India’s political factions, with both sides using the controversy to attack one another.

As the story unfolds, political observers expect the incident to dominate parliamentary discussions and media headlines in the coming days.
