JAIPUR: Tourism minister Vishvendra Singh’s son has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of insulting the country on foreign soil and attacked the party's government in the state, saying it does not care about people’s problems.

Anirudh is considered close to former deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot.
Vishvendra Singh was part of the 18 Congress MLAs who rebelled against chief minister Ashok Gehlot in 2020 along with Pilot and lost his Cabinet position but was later reinstated after reconciliation brokered by the Congress leadership.
“He (Rahul Gandhi) has gone bonkers. Who insults one’s own country in another country’s Parliament? Or perhaps he considers Italy his homeland,” Anirudh said in a tweet.
Speaking at a function in London, Gandhi had alleged that the structures of Indian democracy were under "brutal attack" and regretted that democratic countries of the world, including the US and Europe, have failed to notice it.
"Can't he speak all this garbage in India? Or he genetically prefers European soil?" Anirudh tweeted. He mentions in his Twitter bio -- "An independent voice. @sachinpilot school of thought on most matters surrounding #Rajasthan”. There was no immediate reaction from Vishvendra Singh on his son's remarks. Anirudh is also critical of the government's handling of the protest by the martyrs’ widows.
