Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Pralhad Joshi slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and called him “fake Gandhi”.
Speaking to mediaperson, Joshi said, “He (Rahul Gandhi) is not a descendant of Mahatma Gandhi. He is a ‘nakli’ (fake) Gandhi. And it is a fake ideology.”
The BJP leader’s comments came after Rahul Gandhi took a jibe at the Modi government. The BJP has also claimed that the Congress has become aggressive to divert attention from the probe against its top leaders.
Earlier a day, while addressing a press conference in Delhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, “Why do they attack the Gandhi family? They do it because we fight for an ideology and there are crores of people like us. We fight for democracy, for communal harmony and we have been doing this for years. It’s not just me who did that, it has been happening for years.”
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi compared PM Modi with Hitler. “Hitler has also won elections, he too used to win elections. How did he use to do it? He had control of all of Germany’s institutions…Give me the entire system, then I will show you how elections are won,” Rahul Gandhi said.
Moreover, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs of the Congress party are holding a protest “Chalo Rashtrapati Bhavan”. To mark the support for the protest Congress party leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and MP Mallikarjun Kharge were seen in black outfits.
During the protest, the Delhi police detained senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Shashi Tharoor along with other party members on Friday. Meanwhile, all Congress MPs were marching towards Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Earlier, the Delhi Police denied permission to Congress for holding a protest in the national capital. They have also imposed Section 144 CrPC in the entire area of New Delhi except for Jantar Mantar.
