In a move that has ignited a political storm, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi declared on Wednesday that the party is battling not just the BJP and RSS, but the Indian state itself. His statements, made at the opening of the Congress' new headquarters, were sharply criticized by the BJP.
BJP president J P Nadda labeled Gandhi's comments as revealing the 'ugly truth' of Congress, alleging Gandhi's ties with forces intent on discrediting India. Nadda accused the Congress of historically undermining national integrity for political gain, asserting that the Indian electorate rejects Gandhi's ideologies.
Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman and BJP IT department head Amit Malviya echoed these sentiments, questioning Gandhi's allegiance to the Constitution. Meanwhile, Gandhi called for transparency from the Election Commission regarding voter information, highlighting a perceived electoral system discrepancy following elections in Maharashtra.
