Watch: Misplaced In Translation, Puducherry Lady’s Criticism To Rahul Gandhi

Puducherry:

A fisherwoman’s criticism to Rahul Gandhi went astray on Wednesday as Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayansamy translated for her.

The Chief Minister – scuffling with a possible disaster in his authorities – had accompanied Mr Gandhi throughout his go to to the fishermen, a key group within the seaside city.

Through the trade, a girl stated in Tamil, “He (Narayanasamy) is here. Did he ever visit us during Cyclone?”

“During the Nivar cyclone, I came and visited the area and gave relief to them. That she says,” defined Mr Narayansamy.

“There is only so much one can understand by asking questions … I need one favour from you. Next time I come, I want to go with you in the fishing boat to see what you experience,” Mr Gandhi stated to an enormous spherical of applause.

On his half, Mr Gandhi – who had started the day with a visit to the fishermen – had dedicated a fake pas that introduced cheer to the BJP camp.

Praising fishermen as “farmers of the sea”, Mr Gandhi had stated: “I think to myself, if farmers of the land have a ministry in Delhi then why can’t farmers of the sea have a ministry in Delhi? When we have an issue of farmers we go to the ministry that belongs to the farmers. We go to the Agricultural Minister, but when fishermen have an issue, they do not have a minister to go to. And so I think an important thing we have to do for fishermen is we have to give them a ministry in the central government, so their issues can be raised and their pain can be taken care of”.

The BJP identified that there’s already a fisheries ministry, headed by Union minister Giriraj Singh. Mr Singh tweeted the very fact in Italian and later advised reporters that he was “astonished to know that a party’s leader is unaware of a separate ministry formed for fisheries, animal husbandry and dairy by PM (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) in 2019 and I took oath as its minister”.

Nevertheless, Congress leaders level out that forward of the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP had promised a separate ministry.

“Work is underway in Puducherry and in other parts for the first time,” he added.

The Congress-DMK alliance authorities led by Mr Narayansamy has been scuffling with a spate of resignations because the yr began.

Whereas N Dhanavelou was disqualified final yr for alleged anti-party actions, A Namassivayam and E Theeppainjan resigned on January 25. This week two ministers — Malladi Krishna Rao and John Kumar – give up, leaving the federal government and the opposition with 14 seats every – one in need of the bulk mark of 15.

Mr Narayansamy has denied that his authorities is going through any disaster.
