‘Congress’ ugly truth now stands exposed by their own leader‘: BJP condemns Rahul Gandhi’s remarks
The Hindu
Rahul Gandhi's remarks on fighting BJP, RSS, and Indian state spark controversy, drawing criticism from BJP leaders.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (January 15, 2025) said his party was fighting the "BJP, RSS and the Indian state itself", triggering a row with the BJP alleging that everything the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha does or says is in the direction of breaking India and dividing the society.
Speaking at the inauguration of the new Congress headquarters in New Delhi, Mr. Gandhi also hit out at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, saying his remark that India got "true independence" after the Ram temple consecration amounts to treason and is an insult to every Indian.
"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, that we are fighting a political organisation called the 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," he said addressing Congress leaders.
The remark drew sharp criticism from the BJP, with party chief and Union minister J.P. Nadda saying the Congress' "ugly truth" has been exposed by its own leader.
Mr. Nadda alleged on X that it is not a secret that Gandhi and his ecosystem have close links with urban Naxals and the deep state who want to "defame, demean and discredit" India.
"'Hidden no more, Congress' ugly truth now stands exposed by their own leader," Mr. Nadda said.
