New Delhi, Jan 15: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks that “we are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself” triggered a row on Wednesday with the BJP claiming that the Congress’ “ugly truth” has been exposed by its own leader and that his statement was straight out of “George Soros’ playbook”.
Addressing party leaders after the inauguration of the Congress’ new headquarters at 9A, Kotla Road here, Gandhi said, “Do not think that we are fighting a fair fight. There is no fairness in this. If you believe that we are fighting a political organisation called the BJP, that we are fighting a political organisation called the RSS, you have not understood what is going on. “The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself,” he said.
BJP president J P Nadda claimed that the Congress’ “ugly truth” has been exposed by its own leader.
Nadda alleged on X that it is not a secret that Gandhi and his ecosystem have close links with urban Naxals and the deep state who want to “defame, demean and discredit” India.
He said Gandhi’s repeated actions have also strengthened this belief.
Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat saying that his remark that India got “true independence” after the Ram temple consecration amounts to treason and is an insult to every Indian.
Gandhi said every party worker is fighting this battle of ideologies under difficult circumstances where institutions have been captured by the BJP and the RSS and investigative agencies are being used against opposition leaders. (PTI)
