The BJP, citing late Congress leader Chandra Bhanu Gupta's biography, said he had raised questions on the funding of the National Herald newspaper and its purpose.
The BJP on Saturday launched a fresh attack on the Congress and its first family over the National Herald issue, citing the biography of its late leader Chandra Bhanu Gupta. The BJP also dubbed the Congress' proposed 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' as the "Save Gandhi Family Andolan".
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra, citing Gupta's biography, said the late Congress leader had raised questions on the funding of the National Herald newspaper and its purpose.
"Chandra Bhanu Gupta of Congress, who was Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and a prominent leader, wrote his biography. It was recently published. In his book, he raised many questions regarding the funding of the newspaper...He stated that glorifying Indira Gandhi and (Jawaharlal) Nehru was its main purpose," Sambit Patra said.
In the book, Chandra Bhanu Gupta clearly stated that the National Herald was not meant for the Congress but only to glorify one family, the BJP spokesperson said.
