Rahul Gandhi's Controversial Claims on Farm Laws and Arun Jaitley

Rahul Gandhi has claimed that late Arun Jaitley threatened him over his opposition to farm laws, a claim dismissed by BJP as false. Rohan Jaitley criticized Gandhi, urging him to respect the deceased. The BJP refuted the timeline of events, insisting facts be adhered to in political discourse.

In a recent political stir, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has alleged that the former finance minister, the late Arun Jaitley, threatened him regarding his opposition to the controversial farm laws. Gandhi's remarks came at Congress' annual legal conclave held at Vigyan Bhawan.

The BJP swiftly dismissed the claims as 'fake news,' emphasizing that Jaitley passed away in 2019, before the introduction of the farm laws in 2020. Rohan Jaitley, son of the late minister, criticized Gandhi's comments, urging respect for the deceased.

The debate highlights ongoing tensions over the BJP's farm policies, with Congress accusing the ruling party of a longstanding anti-farmer agenda. The BJP insists on precise historical narratives, accusing Gandhi of manipulating timelines to suit his political narrative.
