Misdeeds of Rahul Gandhi: BJP Chief JP Nadda Hits Back at Congress After Kharge's Letter

New Delhi: Union Health Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party Chief JP Nadda on Thursday, September 19, launched a scathing attack on Congress counterpart Mallikarjun Kharge over his recent letter to the Prime Minister, expressing his disappointment over remarks made against the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi .

The BJP Chief wrote a letter to Kharge saying, “You have written a letter to PM Modi in an attempt to polish your failed product, which has been repeatedly rejected by the public, and bring it to the market due to political compulsion. After reading that letter, I felt that the things said by you are far from reality.”

"It seems that in the letter you have either forgotten the misdeeds of your leaders including Rahul Gandhi or have deliberately ignored them, so I felt that it is important to bring those things to your notice in detail. It is sad that the oldest political party of the country has now become a 'copy & paste' party under the pressure of its famous prince," the letter read further. 

Kharge Writes to PM 

Congress President Kharge earlier this week raised with PM Modi on Tuesday the issue of "extremely objectionable" statements by ruling alliance members targeting Gandhi and urged him to discipline leaders.

In his letter to the PM, Kharge stressed taking strict legal action against those making such statements or remarks so that Indian politics can be prevented from degenerating and nothing untoward happens.

The Congress chief said, "I want to draw your attention to an issue which is directly related to democracy and the Constitution. You must be aware that a series of extremely objectionable, violent and rude statements are being made against the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi ."

Making an apparent reference to the remarks by MoS Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu and UP Minister Raghuraj Singh, Kharge said, “I have to say with sadness that the violent language used by the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party and your allies is harmful for the future. The world is shocked that the Minister of State for Railways in the central government, a minister from BJP -ruled Uttar Pradesh, is calling the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha 'number one terrorist.'”
