BJP terms Punjab crisis as ‘clash of ambitions, colossal failure of Rahul’

Thursday, 30 September 2021 | PNS | New Delhi

The  BJP on Wednesday  described  the Punjab political turmoil and developments in the State Congress  unit  as a “clash of ambition” and  said it reflected  a “colossus failure” of former Congress  president Rahul Gandhi.

Addressing a press conference here,  BJP national spokesman Sambit Patra  said on account of its gross mismanagement in Punjab   the opposition party has now  started  targeting journalists to divert the attention from  the ongoing  power struggle in the State.

He said the “personal ambitions”  are the cause of  crisis in Congress  as the key players there are only pushing their own agenda  with no concern for peoples’ suffering.

The colossal failure of Rahul, and the entire Congress high command came to the fore with the Punjab crisis, he said .

 “The Congress, in order to divert the attention from the Punjab episode, has threatened journalists and media today and we have seen the consequences,” he said.

Patra said the party is in complete disarray which has also  been pointed out  by Congress insiders and  leaders themselves.

BJP  leader questioned Rahul in Kerala saying that he “ does not believe in borders..”   and wondered as to why Congressman Navjyot Singh Sidhu  interacted with Pakistan leaders the way he did and why Kanhaiya Kumar,  allegedly part of ‘tukde tukde gang’,  was admitted  into the Congress.  Patra expressed concern over the state of affairs in a sensitive border state.

Patra  also asked the Editors Guild to take notice of the threat allegedly given by  a sitting Chief Minister to a woman reporter.
