BJP Slams Rahul Gandhi Amid Election Tensions

BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh criticizes Rahul Gandhi for his discourse and associates his team with divisive factions. In a counter, Gandhi challenges the BJP's stance on Adivasis and pushes for caste census, highlighting disparities in wealth distribution ahead of the Jharkhand elections.

Amid escalating political rhetoric ahead of the Jharkhand elections, BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Speaking from Gonda, Singh accused Gandhi of being disconnected from the realities of political discourse and labeled his team as members of the 'tukde tukde' gang.

Rahul Gandhi, in his address at the 'Samvidhan Samman Sammelan' in Ranchi, retaliated by accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to alter Adivasi history by branding them 'Vanvasis'. He asserted that Congress intends to lift the reservation cap and perform a caste census if given the mandate.

Gandhi underscored the necessity of a caste census, terming it as society's 'X-ray' to unveil caste representation and wealth control. He highlighted the wealth concentration with the top one percent of Indians and the underrepresentation of marginalized communities in key sectors, including Bollywood.
