The Bharatiya Janata Party responded to Rahul Gandhi’s press conference regarding his disqualification with a counterattack on Saturday.”You are permitted to criticize, but not to offend. At the press conference, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad asserted that Rahul Gandhi had intentionally insulted the backward castes.
“During his press conference, Rahul Gandhi attempted to make deceptive statements and failed to address the topic. In 2019, Rahul Gandhi was punished for his speech. Today, he said, ‘I speak thoughtfully,’ which implies that whatever Rahul Gandhi said in 2019, he did so thoughtfully,’ a BJP lawmaker stated.
“Rahul Gandhi lied once more when he claimed he said nothing in London. In London, he stated that democracy in India has deteriorated and that European nations are ignoring it. “Lying has become second nature to Rahul Gandhi,” said Prasad.
“Rahul Gandhi was dissatisfied with his phone’s Pegasus feature. However, despite the Supreme Court’s request, he did not have his phone ‘examined’ to determine if it had been compromised. Why didn’t he go? He was in fact apprehensive”, the BJP leader stated.
In his press conference, Rahul Gandhi stated that he does not care if he is irrevocably disqualified from the Lok Sabha. “Please comprehend why I was disqualified. I was disqualified because Prime Minister Narendra Modi fears my upcoming speech on Adani. I saw it in his gaze,” the former Wayanad representative had said.
