Jagdambika Pal took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi, saying his party would not be in the opposition if they had listened to his advice.

BJP MP Jagdambika Pal on Wednesday hit back at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi after he took a jibe at the former over his old Congress link.

Gandhi was speaking in the Lower House of Parliament during a general discussion on Budget 2026 while Pal was in the Chair.

After BJP MPs objected to Gandhi’s remark on India-US trade deal, the Chair asked the Congress MP to speak only on the budget.

Gandhi said, “We know you are an ex-member of our party, so I will not go very aggressive today."

Pal responded: “Why are you mentioning this?"

Gandhi then added, “Because you are ex member of our party."

Pal said, “I am here as a presiding officer."

Gandhi further said, “But we like you, sir, and we know your heart is not there. We know your heart is here."

Pal then took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi, saying his party would not be in the opposition if they had listened to his advice.

“Had you agreed to my advice, you would not be sitting there. If you’re sitting there, only because you have not taken my advice," Pal said.

Later in his speech, Gandhi said, “Sir, you allowed me to speak more today."

Pal was in the Chair as Speaker Om Birla said he would not sit in the Chair until the non-confidence motion brought in by the opposition is disposed of.
