'Others criticized Rahul but he, unfazed by this, went on a Bharat Jodo Yatra. across the country and become popular and Bharat Jodo became a success. In the meantime, a defamation case was filed in Gujarat for what he had said somewhere, and he was sentenced to two years in the Gujarat court itself. Rahul Gandhi case should not happen like this in republican politics' the MLC said. He criticised Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as a part of political machinations.
