BJP Attacks Congress Over 'Toolkit'; "Fake, Will File Case," It Responds

The Congress has instructed its social media volunteers to call the new mutant strain of COVID-19 the "Modi strain" or the "India strain", Mr Patra claimed in a tweet.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hit out at the Congress today over an alleged toolkit of the opposition party, saying it wants to tarnish the image of the country and Prime Minister Narendra Modi by calling the new strain of the coronavirus the "India strain" or the "Modi strain". Citing the toolkit, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said according to the document, it is clear that the Congress extending help to the needy during the pandemic is "more of a public relations exercise with the help of friendly journalists and influencers than a soulful endeavour". In accordance with the agenda of the toolkit, the Congress has instructed its social media volunteers to call the new mutant strain of COVID-19 the "Modi strain" or the "India strain", Mr Patra claimed in a tweet. BJP president JP Nadda said dividing the society and "spewing venom against others. Congress is a master at this".
