Rahul Gandhi spreading chaos in India: BJP
The BJP mounted a fierce attack against Rahul Gandhi on Monday, accusing him of creating chaos and instability in the country and alleging that his actions were aimed at undermining constitutional institutions and tarnishing India’s image globally.
Levelling these charges against him in a press conference on a day when Rahul Gandhi joined several other Opposition leaders in a march to the Supreme Court, BJP MP Anurag Thakur said the country had never witnessed such “theatrics and tantrums” from a leader of the Opposition, whom he described as “destabilising, chaotic and unserious”.
Taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi over his repeated allegations of “vote chori”, Thakur claimed that the Congress leader was challenging the people’s mandate.
“Rahul Gandhi is a ‘hawa hawai’ leader. His entire style of politics follows the same pattern: ‘hawa hawai’ --hollow statements, baseless allegations, hollow actions, hollow protests and hollow facts,” he alleged.
Thakur accused Rahul Gandhi of repeatedly shifting blame to different institutions, including the Election Commission of India (ECI), Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and the chief election commissioner.
“The situation has now deteriorated to the point where Rahul Gandhi is resorting to street-level language and making baseless allegations,” he alleged.
“Rahul ji, the country needs truth, not noise. It needs evidence, not allegations. It needs clear answers, not political statements,” Thakur said.
He also claimed that the President asked Rahul Gandhi to provide evidence with his complaint when he approached the President, but he remained silent.
The former Union minister further alleged that the Supreme Court had made it clear to Rahul Gandhi that he could not turn the court into a battleground for his politics. He also questioned Rahul Gandhi’s approach to the judiciary in matters where cases are pending.
