Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande didn’t hold back in Mumbai, labeling Rahul Gandhi’s international sojourns as deliberate attempts to malign India’s standing. Contrasting this with PM Modi’s Israel visit, she praised the latter for always securing gains for the homeland.
In an exclusive interview, Kayande elaborated: Modi’s journeys bolster India’s growth, whereas Gandhi’s, as Lok Sabha Opposition Leader, serve only to besmirch the nation’s image. ‘The people have wised up to Rahul’s game. He’s completely out in the open now,’ she said.
Extolling Modi as a towering figure on the global arena, Kayande emphasized his broader impact. This rhetoric underscores deepening political divides over foreign policy optics.
Kayande also weighed in on Trump’s provocative statement linking Pakistan’s PM’s fate to ongoing wars, calling for an end to his ‘deceptive and groundless’ rhetoric that sows global confusion.
As demands swell for Mohammed Siraj and Shami’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad – propelled by AIMIM after India’s crushing Super 8 defeat against South Africa – Kayande stayed neutral. ‘I lack expertise in cricket; it’s up to the organizing bodies like BCCI,’ she concluded, noting the uphill battle for semifinal glory.
