Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday (April 17, 2026) triggered laughter in the House with a tongue-in-cheek remark that both he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not have the “wife issue”, as he spoke on the influence of women in public life.
Taking part in a debate on Bills related to the women’s reservation law and delimitation, Mr. Gandhi said members across the House had been shaped by women — mothers, sisters and wives.
