ꦏThe Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched an attack on the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, today after he claimed the Opposition was “fighting not only the BJP but the Indian state” as well.
🦹The BJP attack was led by Union Health Minister and BJP President JP Nadda and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaram. While Nadda said the Rahul’s remarks expose “Congress's ugly truth."
♛Finance Minister also asked why "Rahul carried a copy of the Constitution if he thought the opposition was fighting the State."
Rahul Gandhi made these remarks while addressing a gathering at the inauguration of Congress's new headquarters in Delhi, where he criticized the BJP and its ideological parent, the RSS.
"Our ideology, like the RSS ideology, is thousands of years old, and it has been fighting the RSS ideology for thousands of years. Do not think that we are fighting a fair fight. There is no fairness in this. If you believe that we are fighting a political organisation called the BJP or RSS, you have not understood what is going on. The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself," Rahul Gandhi was quoted by ANI.
What BJP Chief JP Nadda Says?
💫The remark drew a sharp response from the BJP chief, JP Nadda. "Hidden no more, Congress' ugly truth now stands exposed by their own leader. I 'compliment' Mr. Rahul Gandhi for saying clearly what the nation knows—that he is fighting the Indian state," he said in a post on X.
Nadda accused Rahul of having “Naxal links.”
ꦇ"It is not a secret that Mr. Gandhi and his ecosystem have close links with Urban Naxals and the Deep State who want to defame, demean and discredit India. His repeated actions have also strengthened this belief. Everything he has done or said has been in the direction of breaking India and dividing our society," JP Nadda added.
𝐆"Congress has a history of encouraging all those forces who want a weak India. Their greed for power meant compromising the nation's integrity and betraying the trust of the people. But, the people of India are wise. They have decided that they will always reject Mr. Rahul Gandhi and his rotten ideology," the BJP chief said.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's Comment:
✨Finance Minister Sitharaman said the Leader of the Opposition, who took the oath on the Consitution, is saying he is fighting the Indian State.
💦"The LoP, who was sworn in by taking oath on the Constitution, is now saying, We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS, and the Indian State itself," she added.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla Reacts:
💯BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla slammed Rahul Gandhi, for his remarks on the Indian state and said that his “statement is not a coincidence but a pre-planned experiment and sponsored business by George Soros”.
🍃"Today Rahul made it public that by fighting Modi and BJP he has started fighting with the nation. He is fighting with India and Indian states, and it's not a coincidence but it's a pre-planned experiment and sponsored business by George Soros, "Poonawalla said, as quoted by News Agency ANI.
🍃BJP ally JDU also attacked the Congress, party leader Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said that “there was no truth in the Congress' allegations.”
"The blotted past of Congress does not allow it to let them ask such questions. Congress has raised such points earlier too...But they were defeated in the recent Lok Sabha ▨and Vidhan Sabha elections in different states. The reason behind its defeat is that there is no truth in the allegations of Congress. The people are witnessing increased respect for constitutional institutions," he said.
