"Insulted Backward Communities": JP Nadda On Rahul Gandhi's Sentencing

JP Nadda said, "By comparing OBC communities to thieves, Rahul Gandhi has shown a pathetic and casteist mindset.

BJP president J P Nadda on Friday claimed that Rahul Gandhi has a habit of levelling fabricated allegations having no connection with facts while alleging the Congress leader has a "huge arrogance but little understanding".In a series of tweets amid a political fight between the BJP and the Congress following Mr Gandhi's conviction in a defamation case over the "Modi surname" remarks, Mr Nadda alleged that "lies, personal slander and negative politics is integral" to his politics. By comparing OBC communities to thieves, Mr. @RahulGandhi has shown a pathetic and casteist mindset. However, his latest tirade is not surprising. For the last many years he has always reduced levels of political discourse. Let me explain how in the thread below. 👇🏻

People's "punishment" to him will be more severe in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls than in 2019 when he lost in Amethi and the Congress was routed nationally, the BJP leader said.

He said, "By comparing OBC communities to thieves, Rahul Gandhi has shown a pathetic and casteist mindset. However, his latest tirade is not surprising. For the last many years, he has always reduced levels of political discourse." Mr Nadda said he repeatedly ignored suggestions from the court and the community to tender an apology for his comments. The entire Other Backward Classes will avenge this insult in a democratic manner, the BJP president said.
