The Congress party has criticized the BJP for its recent allegations that Rahul Gandhi has encouraged violence against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The BJP made its accusations following an assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump, who was shot at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
BJP IT department head Amit Malviya accused Gandhi of compromising Modi's security, citing past incidents involving the Punjab Police. He labeled Gandhi as 'Third Time Fail,' referencing Gandhi's electoral defeats to Modi.
In response, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera condemned the BJP's claims as 'cheap politics' focused on leader security. Khera highlighted Congress's history of losing leaders to terrorism and accused Modi of spreading lies and withdrawing Congress leaders' SPG security.
