Reactions to Rahul Gandhi's bombshell on ordinance
- It is a desperate damage control exercise. It's only when the revulsion is built, the Congress party is trying to cut its losses. Belated realisation of what the Congress party now calls non-sense. The heads which brought out this non-sense twice in the last one month must roll. It is a charade to show the government can make a mistake, but the Congress's first family doesn't.
Arun Jaitley, BJP 27/9/2013 - Is this a government or a theatrical production? With such drama, the Congress will not be able to hide the government's failures. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, BJP 27/9/2013
- It's a political stunt, the timing is questionable. The President was probably returning the ordinance, so someone had to take the credit, and it was him. Meenakshi Lekhi, BJP 27/9/2013
- Rahul Gandhi has written to me on the ordinance beside making a statement...Issues raised by him will be considered by the Cabinet on my return to India. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister 27/9/2013
- Rahul Gandhi has taken this step on high moral and principle ground. Ajay Maken, Congress 27/9/2013
- We had expressed our views earlier and whatever Rahul Gandhi has said today, I think, is correct. Nitish Kumar, JD(U) 27/9/2013
- This ordinance was to protect a few individuals, morally it was completely wrong. Now Rahul Gandhi is joining the bandwagon against the ordinance - but it doesn't speak very well of the Congress. It shows no coordination between the party and the government. Saugata Roy, Trinamool Congress 27/9/2013
- This is an orchestrated move... it demonstrates confusion within the Congress. Kalikesh Deo, BJD 27/9/2013
- I cannot help but applaud. Anand Mahindra, industrialist 27/9/2013
