The BJP has been critical of Medha Patkar's campaign against Gujarat's Sardar Sarovar Dam which was inaugurated in 2017.
The BJP on Friday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for marching with activist Medha Patkar on his Bharat Jodo Yatra march that is traversing the length of the country.
"Congress and Rahul Gandhi have time and again shown their animosity towards Gujarat and Gujaratis. By giving Medha Patkar a central place in his Yatra, Rahul Gandhi shows that he stands with those elements who denied water to Gujaratis for decades. Gujarat will not tolerate this," Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel said.
The BJP has been critical of Medha Patkar's campaign against Gujarat's Sardar Sarovar Dam which was inaugurated in 2017. Ms Patkar founded the Narmada Bachao Aandolan, saying that the water from the dam would have displaced thousands of families.
Walking with Ms Patkar in Maharashtra's Washim, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday had targeted the BJP, saying that polls can be rigged through social media and that if social media companies want, they can make any party win an election.
