Don't care if I have no political career, won't lie to people: Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi/IBNS: Continuing his attack on the Centre and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the alleged Chinese inclusion in Ladakh and the consequent clash between the soldiers of two countries at the Galwan Valley on June 15, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said he will 'keep telling the truth even if that costs his political career.'

In his series' fourth video testimonial on India-China clash, Rahul said: "As an Indian, my number 1 priority is the nation and its people. Now it is pretty clear that the Chinese have entered our territory. It disturbs me. How can some other nation come into our territory?"


During the 1 minute 20-second video, released on Monday, the Congress MP said he doesn't bother if after this he has no political career but he won't lie to the people.

"Now if you as a politician want me to keep quiet and lie to my people, I'm simply not going to lie. I don't mind if my all career goes to hell. I think the people who are lying about Chinese entering our country are not nationalists," said he.

"I don't care if I don't have a political career at all after this but I'm going to tell the truth as far as Indian territory is concerned," the former Congress president said.

Following the release of the video, he received flak from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who said the Gandhi scion's political career ended soon after it took off.

"Your political career ended soon after it took off. The people of this country don't see him has any leader. It ended in 2019, and now, you are determined to kill the future of the Congress party," BJP MP and national spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao told media.

His series of videos don't seem to go well even within his own party as a faction has raised questions over the same.

"He does not talk to us and we have no idea who is advising him," a member of this group of critics was quoted as saying to NDTV.

"He (Rahul Gandhi) probably thinks we are useless people and his advisors know best," the channel reported quoting a Congress leader, who happens to be a critic of Rahul.
