Political Tensions Rise as BJP and Congress Clash Over Provocative Remarks

Punjab BJP's Ashwani Sharma criticized Congress's Rahul Gandhi for calling Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu a 'traitor', reflecting Congress's 'bankrupt mindset'. Sharma claims Congress is self-destructing under Gandhi's leadership, while BJP focuses on national development. He urges Congress to prioritize public issues over personal attacks.

The political landscape was shaken on Wednesday as Punjab BJP working president Ashwani Sharma launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. In a heated exchange, Sharma criticized Gandhi for labeling Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu a 'traitor,' a comment Sharma claims reflects a 'bankrupt mindset' within the Congress.

Sharma alleged that Gandhi's usage of abusive and provocative language is a desperate attempt to mask his own failures. He argued that the Congress does not need opposition to crumble, as Gandhi's statements and 'wrong policies' are already undermining the party from within.

Amidst these tensions, Sharma lauded Bittu's commitment to national and regional development, while accusing the Congress of sidelining public welfare in favor of personal attacks. He urged Congress leadership to engage in constructive political discourse, underlining the BJP's commitment to development and stability under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
