JP Nadda hits back at Rahul Gandhi
In an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi on Monday said the LAC standoff in Ladakh is not simply a border dispute but a design by China to target his image as a "56-inch strongman". BJP president J P Nadda hit back at Gandhi, accusing him of indulging in "mudslinging" and describing his attack as another ''failed" edition of ''Project RG Relaunch''.
Nadda slammed the Congress leader's remarks, saying, "We saw yet another (failed) edition of ''Project RG Relaunch'' today. Rahul Gandhi Ji was, as usual, weak on facts and strong on mudslinging. Attempts to politicise defence and foreign policy matters show one dynasty's desperation to wash their past sins of 1962 and weaken India."
"For years, one dynasty has been trying to destroy PM Narendra Modi. Sadly for them, PM Modi's connect with 130 crore Indians is deep-rooted. He lives and works for them. Those who want to destroy him will end up only further destroying their own party," he said in a series of tweets.
