Rahul Gandhi: BJP Brands Congress Leader a “Traitor”
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday launched a scathing attack on Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, labelling him a “traitor” for his recent criticism of the Election Commission of India (ECI). The BJP’s sharp rebuke followed Gandhi’s comments questioning the ECI’s impartiality.
The party accused Gandhi of using his remarks to deflect from the ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into the National Herald case. They allege his statements are a mere expression of frustration over the ED’s actions.
BJP leaders asserted that Gandhi’s comments undermine the sanctity of the electoral process and disrespect the institution. They demanded an apology from the Congress leader for his alleged attack on the ECI.
This latest political sparring comes at a crucial juncture, with several states gearing up for assembly elections. The BJP’s strong condemnation highlights the escalating tensions between the two major parties, setting the stage for a potentially fierce electoral battle ahead. The controversy is likely to dominate political discourse in the coming weeks, impacting public perception of both the Congress and the ECI.
