Bengal BJP Leader Uses Slang For Rahul Gandhi, Trinamool Slips In A Swipe

The Trinamool leader's remark comes against the backdrop of a tug-of-war between his party and the Congress over seat-sharing in INDIA alliance

Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari's derogatory remark on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has provided an opportunity to the ruling Trinamool to take a swipe at state Congress leaders amid a tussle over seat-sharing for Lok Sabha polls.

This comes at a time when the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is moving through the east. The yatra, which began at Manipur on January 14, has passed through the Northeast before entering Bengal on Thursday. After a two-day break, it resumed today and reached Bihar. It is scheduled to re-enter Bengal later this week.
