In a major embarrassment for Congress, party leader and Maharashtra LoP Vijay Wadettiwar said that Rahu Gandhi is educated and qualified but “not a good speaker”.
Wadettiwar said that it is important to be a good orator in politics and the leader should speak with examples to connect with the public.
The Maharashtra Leader of Opposition was addressing Rajinit's students in a college in Pune and talking about the qualities required to make a career in politics.
“I have been MLA for the last 6 times nonstop. In politics, first of all it is important to be a good speaker. Like Rahul Gandhi is educated and qualified, but he is not a good speaker. First of all you need to be a good speaker. Whenever you speak in front of the public, you should speak with examples," he said.
Maharashtra legislative assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar was also present at the event.
Pointing at Rahul Karad, the founder of the School of Governance at MIT-WPU, Wadettiwar said persons named "Rahul" are always skilled.
"Two Rahuls (Narwekar and Karad) are sitting here and the third one (Rahul Gandhi) is sitting there (in Delhi). Those whose names are Rahul are skilled and their skill is always unique," he added.
Vijay Wadettiwar was appointed as the LoP in August this year. He was given this responsibility for the second time. He held the position for the first time from June 2019 till the Assembly elections held in the same year.
