Indore, MP, May 16 (UNI) Drawing the shaft of sarcasm from her political quiver, outgoing Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan – who has been representing this parliamentary constituency without interval since 1989 – quipped on Thursday that it is imperative for Congress President Rahul Gandhi to comprehend a tremendous quantum while remaining in the Opposition “for a while longer.”
Responding to a media query here in the context of the Congress’ proposed minimum income guarantee scheme, the seasoned politician said, “That implies the party could not provide justice to the impoverished in decades. It was the Congress that proffered the slogan vis-a-vis poverty eradication and has now come up with a fresh blueprint for misleading the indigent.”
