Country trapped in Lotus 'Chakravyuh'; middle class that 'banged utensils' stabbed: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Opposition, criticized the BJP during a debate on the budget in the Lok Sabha, drawing parallels to the Mahabharata. He said the country is trapped in a "Chakravyuh of the Lotus," referring to the BJP symbol. Gandhi accused the BJP-led NDA government of betraying the middle-class by removing indexation and increasing long-term capital gains tax.
