Rahul Gandhi in grip of Maoist thought process, claims BJP

New Delhi: BJP lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday for his criticism of the state of democracy in India and RSS, with party spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad accusing him of aligning with Maoists in the country.

"We are accusing that Rahul Gandhi is completely in the grip of Maoist thought process through his minions and anarchist elements," Prasad told media persons. "BJP would like to very emphatically state with great agony that Mr. Rahul Gandhi has sought to shame Indian democracy, India polity, Indian Parliament, Indian judicial system and strategic security from a foreign land."

Gandhi had said during an address in the UK that Europe and the US, the defenders of democracy, were oblivious of how a large chunk of democracy had come undone in India.


"We ask Congress president Kharge ji whether he supports such an irresponsible and shameful comment of Rahul Gandhi that the US and Europe must intervene in India to restore democracy. If you don't support Rahul Gandhi's
The BJP spokesman also slammed Gandhi for constantly criticising the RSS and comparing it with Muslim Brotherhood. "This is condemnable. RSS is a nationalist organisation that has been serving this country since 1925. Today its swayamsevaks (volunteers) are ruling different parts of the nation and the Congress has come closer to its extinction," said Prasad.
