At a Punjab rally, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the AAP, claiming that Mann smelled of alcohol during a parliamentary session.
Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, addressed a gathering in Punjab and delivered a forceful critique of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
In his speech, Gandhi singled out a figure referred to as Mann, alleging that the individual emitted the smell of alcohol while present in the Lok Sabha by 11 a.m., suggesting misconduct.
The remarks formed part of a broader political rally aimed at consolidating Congress support ahead of upcoming elections, with Gandhi urging voters to reject AAP's governance.
AAP representatives have not yet responded publicly to the specific allegation, and no official verification of the claim has been presented.
The episode adds to the heightened political rhetoric as parties intensify campaigns across northern India ahead of the next electoral cycle.
