Rahul Gandhi's decision to keep off Bengal campaign over Covid an 'alibi', he has sensed defeat: Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad

The Union law and IT minister also attacked the Mamata Banerjee government, calling it an emodiment of "misrule, corruption and (Muslim) appeasement". "It's an alibi as the captain found his ship sinking," Prasad told a press conference while referring to Gandhi's decision to stay away from electioneering in West Bengal due to the second wave of the Covid-19.
