BJP MP Kamlesh Paswan reacts to Rahul Gandhi's praise in Parliament.

"After my speech on Motion of Thanks to the President in Parliament, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi yesterday said: "Mr Paswan, you spoke very well. I think you are in the wrong party". He is trying to woo me. He should focus on himself and his party first."

The Congress leader during the motion of thanks on the President's address yesterday, was seen taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi by saying, "India cannot be ruled as a kingdom...The King does not listen to anybody."

The Wayanad MP also took the name of Kamlesh Paswan and who had spoken just before him and pointed out that BJP MP, who is a Dalit was in the wrong party.

"You do not listen to anybody and even not to my dear brother and sister in the BJP. I saw my Dalit colleague speak today, Paswan ji. He knows the history of Dalit. He knows who has oppressed the Dalits for 3,000 years. But he is speaking with hesitancy. He is speaking without... I am proud of him. I am proud of this gentleman. He has spoken to me what is in his heart. But he is in the wrong party. Don't worry...ghabraiye mat," Gandhi said.

To this there was an uproar and Paswan stood up to speak in protest and motioned to the Speaker to allow him to speak only to be told by the Speaker in Hindi, 'No.. not in between, afterwards'.

This was when Gandhi promptly gestured to Paswan and made the declaration that he gave permission to the BJP leader to speak.

Aap kisi ko ijazaat nahi de sakte, yeh adhikar mera hain (You cannot give permission to anyone, this is my right)," the Speaker lashed out at Gandhi leaving the Congress leader visibly embarrassed.
