"Young Congress Leaders Leaving Because..." Kiren Rijiju Attacks Rahul Gandhi | Read

Union minister Kiren Rijiju today said the leaders of the Congress were making a beeline for the BJP because of the ineptitude of Rahul Gandhi both as a speaker and a leader. For many in the party, he is an embarrassment, especially in view of his comments about the country made abroad, Mr Rijiju alleged.

"Rahul Gandhi doesn't have hope -- that's the biggest issue... He is extremely negative," Mr Rijiju told NDTV in an exclusive interview. "That's why all young leaders of Congress are leaving -- they want future prospects but Rahul Gandhi can't offer that,' he claimed.
