'You Are A Lecherous Kind Of Man': Congress’ Supriya Shrinate Hits Back At BJP MP Giriraj Singh Over Rahul Gandhi’s Boat Viral Photo

A photograph of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on a boat with a woman in a hijab and sunglasses, and a young boy, sparked a political debate after Union Minister Giriraj Singh questioned the circumstances. Singh posted the image on X and asked Gandhi to reveal the location, date, and the identities of those accompanying him. The BJP leader's post showed Gandhi seated on a boat at sea with the woman and child.

The image, which seems to be from a holiday, quickly went viral online, generating questions about the people and location in the photo. Congress leader Supriya Shrinate vehemently defended Gandhi, clarifying that the woman and child are the wife and son of one of Rahul Gandhi's friends, and they were together on a family vacation.

Shrinate accused Singh of having a "lecherous" mindset for focusing on the presence of a woman near Gandhi. The controversy intensified as some social media users claimed the photograph was taken at Lake Ray Roberts in Texas, though this has not been confirmed. The exchange has become another chapter in the ongoing political rivalry between the BJP and Congress, often playing out on social media platforms.
