Rahul snooping issue: Why did the Cong NOT walk out from LS today?

March 16, 2015 12:55

Why did the Congress choose to stay put in the Lok Sabha after walking out from the Rajya Sabha over the alleged snooping on party vice-president Rahul Gandhi.

Cong insiders say that this is because Congress MPs in the Rajya Sabha Rahul Gandhi supporters, while Lok Sabha Congress MPs feel that it is Sonia who got them to Parliament and therefore they owed it to the Congress president to stay put in the house.

Congress MPs in the Central Hall openly accused friends of Rahul Gandhi for having misled the house on the issue and over-hyping it and they place the blame on the able shoulders of party spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi who had stated that Rahul's profiling was on the Gujarat Model and likened it to "snoopgate"
