BJP Criticizes Rahul Gandhi's ED Raid Claim Amid Wayanad Accountability Questions

The BJP has criticized Rahul Gandhi for alleging an impending ED raid against him, suggesting he's distracting from questions of accountability regarding Wayanad's recent landslide tragedy. The BJP accused Gandhi of evading the issue, while local leaders blamed state governments for the disaster. The discussion also touched on India's digital revolution and poverty reduction.

The BJP has taken a jab at Rahul Gandhi for his claim of an imminent ED raid, asserting that he is diverting attention from questions about his responsibility as Wayanad's MP after the tragic landslide.

BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar suggested Gandhi is crafting a narrative to deflect accountability concerns. He claimed Gandhi's focus on an 'imaginary issue' seeks to dodge questions about Wayanad.

Union Minister Lalan Singh sharply remarked that no action would occur without reason, suggesting Gandhi's claim might indicate wrongdoing. Gandhi, elected from Wayanad in recent polls and now relinquished the seat, has prompted Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to potentially contest the by-poll.

Chandrasekhar criticized the Kerala government for restricting scientific opinion sharing, calling it hypocritical. He praised India's digital growth under PM Modi, citing it as a tool for poverty alleviation lauded by the UN General Assembly President.
