The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday accused Congress of perpetuating 'historical blunders' under the leadership of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Allegations included the controversial decision to give Jammu and Kashmir special status and mishandling territorial issues with Pakistan and China.

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the BJP, accusing it of attempting to destroy Nehru's legacy. She emphasized that these efforts aim not only to diminish Nehru's personal contributions but also to undermine his role in India's independence struggle.

The BJP's spokesperson, Gaurav Bhatia, critiqued Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of destabilizing political alliances in various states and alleging that the government blocks foreign dignitaries from meeting him due to insecurity. The exchange highlights the ongoing political tension between BJP and Congress over India's historical narrative.
