Congress Party President Rahul Gandhi congratulated the DRDO for ‘Mission Shakti’, and took a dig at PM Narendra Modi. In a brief statement, Rahul Gandhi points out that the timing of space mission announcement was just a drama. “Well done DRDO, extremely proud of your work. I would also like to wish the PM a very happy World Theatre Day,” Rahul Gandhi said on his official twitter handle.
Well done DRDO, extremely proud of your work.
I would also like to wish the PM a very happy World Theatre Day.

Congress party had also said that while the Indian scientists must be praised for the topnotch work, but the nation must not forget India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
We congratulate @isro @DRDO_India & the Govt on the latest achievement for India. The Indian Space Programme established in 1962 by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru & the Indian Space Research Organisation set up under Smt. Indira Gandhi has always made India proud through its achievements.
