Targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, BJP president JP Nadda said on Monday that his allegations against the Union Government on the India-China stand-off in eastern Ladakh were “weak on facts and strong on mudslinging” and accused him of preferring to believe the Chinese army than his own Government.
Describing the latest video of Rahul attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the border escalation on the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh as yet another “failed attempt” to relaunch himself, Nadda said that “one dynasty’s desperation” to wash away their “sins of 1962” have been exposed.
“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 shows one dynasty’s desperation to wash their past sins of 1962 and weaken India,” tweeted BJP president.
Nadda said for years, one dynasty has been trying to destroy the image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “For years, one dynasty has been trying to destroy PM Narendra Modi. Sadly for them, PM Modi’s connection 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,” the BJP president tweeted.
He said that Rahul tries to politicise foreign policy issues by making statements that are weak on facts and strong on mudslinging. Rahul has been releasing a series of videos to reach out to the people with his thoughts on matters of importance. Rahul also positioned these videos as a counter to the alleged “hate filled narrative” being spread through television channels.
BJP chief said that in recent years, be it Doklam or the present, Rahul Gandhi prefers briefings from the Chinese instead of believing India’s armed forces. “Why does one dynasty want a weak India and a strong China? Many leaders in the Congress also disapprove of one dynasty’s shenanigans!” he tweeted.
He said the Congress leader prefers to believe Chinese army more than his own governrrment.
Nadda said since the 1950s, China has made “strategic investments in one dynasty that has given them rich dividends”. As a result of that, he said, China captured land during the Congress-led UPA tenure.
Nadda’s stinging attack followed after Rahul released a video wherein he attacked Modi saying the LAC standoff in Ladakh is not simply a border dispute but a design by China to attack his image as a “56-inch strongman”. Rahul alleged that Chinese leadership understood the image conscious Indian Prime Minister and sought to weaken his “false image” of a strong at the helm.
As against the Prime Minister’s assertion that none has encroached in the Indian territory, the former Congress President has been asserting that China has been sitting in the Indian territory and that Modi was “telling lies”.
BJP National spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member Sudhanshu Trivedi also made tirade against Rahul saying he should be aware that the India-China border problem a “legacy issue” that was inherited by the
Modi-Government from the past regimes headed by his family elders including Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of the county. eom
He alleged that Rahul was short on facts and has poor understanding of the sensitive border issues.
