The Congress refuted has Mr Nadda's allegation that Rahul Gandhi compared OBC communities to thieves,accusingthe ruling party of defending the likes of fugitives Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi.
The Bharatiya Janata Party will run a nationwide campaign on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as a Lok Sabha MP over his "How do all thieves have Modi as the common surname?" remark in 2019, party sources said. Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi held a meeting with all OBC ministers, who will issue statements echoing party president JP Nadda's charge that Mr Gandhi insulted the Other Backward Classes by calling them thieves, in the Parliament.
Dharmendra Pradhan, Krishan Pal Gurjar, Prahlad Singh Patel, Rameswar Teli were among the top leaders present in the meeting.
"By comparing OBC communities to thieves, Rahul Gandhi has shown a pathetic and casteist mindset. However, his latest tirade is not surprising. For the last many years, he has always reduced levels of political discourse," JP Nadda had earlier tweeted.
The entire Other Backward Classes will avenge this insult in a democratic manner, the BJP president had said.
