Your letter to PM Modi driven by compulsion to market a failed product: Nadda to Mallikarjun Kharge
The Hindu
BJP president accuses Rahul Gandhi of abusing PM Modi and OBCs, siding with anti-India forces, sparking political feud.
BJP president J. P. Nadda on Thursday (September 19, 2024) accused Rahul Gandhi of having a history of abusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and OBCs, and of siding with anti-India forces, days after the Opposition party charged ruling alliance members with using violent language against the Leader of Opposition.
In a tit for tat response after Congress president Mallikarjun Khargewrote to PM Modi over some members of the BJP-led NDA using "extremely objectionable" statements against Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Nadda cited his party's own litany of complaints against the LoP and other Congress members for their choice of words against the Prime Minister.
Mr. Nadda said Mr. Gandhi has a history of calling the entire Other Backward Classes, including the PM, a "thief" and using extremely indecent words against Mr. Modi.
"Under what compulsion are you trying to justify Rahul Gandhi," the BJP president asked his Congress counterpart in a three-page letter written in Hindi.
He claimed that Mr. Kharge's letter was driven by his political compulsion to market a "failed product" repeatedly rejected by people.
He told the Congress president, "Your comments are far from truth. It appears from your letter that you have either forgotten the misdeeds of Mr. Gandhi and other leaders or have deliberately ignored them." Mr. Kharge had on Tuesday (September 17, 2024) raised with PM Modi the issue of "extremely objectionable" and violent statements by ruling alliance members targeting Mr. Gandhi and urged him to discipline his leaders.
In his letter, the Congress leader demanded that strict legal action should be taken against those giving such statements so that Indian politics can be prevented from degenerating and nothing untoward happens.
