BJP targets Congress, says Rahul Gandhi's Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar 'crossed all limits'

New Delhi: The BJP on Thursday hit out at Congress, alleging that Rahul Gandhi-led Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar had "crossed all limits of insult, hate and tastelessness," claiming that abuses were hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late mother during the campaign.

At a press conference in New Delhi, BJP MP Sambit Patra targeted Rahul Gandhi, calling him the "new Mani Shankar Aiyar of Congress," and alleged that his repeated use of derogatory language against PM Modi reflected the Opposition's "arrogance and political frustration."

Patra said the language used by Congress and RJD supporters in Bihar was "deeply disturbing" and a matter of "shame" for a party once associated with the freedom struggle. "The same party that followed Mahatma Gandhi's ideals has now turned into a 'Gaali Wali Congress', a party belonging only to the Gandhi family," he said.


Sharpening his attack on the Leader of Opposition, Patra recalled how Mani Shankar Aiyar had sparked controversy years ago by insulting Modi. "There is no difference between Rahul Gandhi, Mani Shankar Aiyar and Sanjay Raut. Rahul Gandhi himself has become the new Mani Shankar Aiyar of Congress," he remarked.
