Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma took a scathing swipe at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, alleging that Gandhi insulted Hindus during his Lok Sabha speech.
According to Sharma, Gandhi has developed a pattern of maligning Hindus to further his political agenda and appease a specific community.
During a press conference at the BJP office, Sharma remarked, 'Rahul Gandhi on the floor of Parliament called Hindus violent and hatemongers. His statements were not only false but also disparaging to Hindus. Gandhi's inaugural speech as Leader of Opposition was rife with disappointment and baseless accusations.' Gandhi had launched an aggressive critique against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha on Monday, which led to significant uproar from the treasury benches. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also condemned Gandhi's remarks, accusing Congress of perpetuating divisiveness through appeasement policies.
