'Rat, Ravana, and illiterate': JP Nadda slams Congress for abusing PM Modi, calls Rahul Gandhi a failed product

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Jagat Prakash Nadda has slammed Congress chief President Mallikarjun Kharge for defending Rahul Gandhi, calling it an effort to "polish a failed product."

In a letter to Kharge, Nadda said Rahul Gandhi has a "history" of disrespecting both the Prime Minister and the OBC community.

In the letter, which came days after Kharge wrote one to PM Modi, Nadda highlighted several controversial statements made by Rahul Gandhi, including referring to the Prime Minister as a "thief." He questioned Kharge’s defense, asking, "Due to what compulsion are you trying to justify Rahul Gandhi?"


Nadda also recalled past remarks by other Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, who called Modi a "merchant of death." He criticized Congress for ignoring political standards while claiming to uphold political dignity.

Nadda stated that under Rahul Gandhi's leadership, Congress has become a "copy and paste" party. He accused Congress leaders of insulting Prime Minister Modi more than 110 times in the past decade and listed various derogatory terms used against Modi.

Nadda wrote, "Kharge ji, what has not been said by your leaders about the Prime Minister? Sometimes it is said 'Modi, your grave will be dug,' sometimes 'a lowly person,' 'a bastard,' 'merchant of death,' 'a poisonous snake,' 'a scorpion,' 'a rat,' 'Ravana,' 'Bhasmasur,' 'good-for-nothing,' 'will die like a dog,' 'will bury Modi in the ground,' 'a demon,' 'evil,' 'a murderer,' 'Hindu Jinnah,' 'General Dyer,' 'a cataract patient,' 'a pickpocket,' 'a dirty drain,' 'a black Englishman,' 'a coward,' 'modern incarnation of Aurangzeb,' 'Duryodhan,' 'a Hindu terrorist,' 'a donkey,' 'impotent,' 'the watchman is a thief,' 'Tughlaq,' 'we will cut Modi into pieces,' 'bastard Modi,' 'a traitor,' 'illiterate,' 'useless.' Even his parents were insulted. In the history of independent India, no public leader has been insulted as much as the country's Prime Minister by your party. Furthermore, those who abused the Prime Minister were given higher positions in Congress. If I start listing such examples, a separate book would need to be written. Didn't such statements and actions shame the country? Didn't they tear apart political decorum? How did you forget this, Mr. Kharge?"

Nadda further accused Rahul Gandhi of supporting anti-national forces and making controversial statements on sensitive issues. He questioned, "Is the Congress party proud of Rahul Gandhi because he hugs Pakistan-loving anti-India people, supports terrorists, seeks foreign intervention in India's democracy, instigates caste and reservation politics, or insults Hindu Sanatan culture?"

Nadda also named Congress leaders he claimed were trying to defame the country, citing figures like Sam Pitroda and Digvijay Singh. He accused Congress of inciting divisions and glorifying anti-national forces.

Nadda concluded by alleging that Congress has damaged Indian democracy through various actions, including imposing emergency rule and supporting triple talaq. He remarked that Congress's "Mohabbat ki Dukaan" is promoting "casteism" and "anti-nationalism."
