"Those who call themselves Hindus only talk about violence, hatred, and untruth; you are not a Hindu at all": Rahul Gandhi

[The Bald Eagle]

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken strong exception to the comment made by Congress Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi in the Parliament by drawing references from the Hindu epic Mahabharat

The BJP Andhra Pradesh unit has said that a copy of the epic would be sent to Mr. Rahul Gandhi, with an advice to read it to know what the Mahabharat stands for.

Addressing the media, here, on July 30 (Tuesday), BJP spokesperson G. Bhanuprakash Reddy condemned the “manner in which Mr. Rahul Gandhi behaved” in the Parliament.

“The Congress MP smirks, winks, hugs fellow members, behaves in a wayward manner and instigates others to disrupt the proceedings of the House, which are unparliamentary in nature. We urge him to learn the art of administration and statecraft from the Mahabharat instead of blindly drawing references from the epic,” said Mr. Bhanuprakash Reddy. He showed a copy of the Mahabharat, saying that it would be dispatched to Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s official address in New Delhi.

Referring to the ‘Chakravyuh’ comment made by Mr. Rahul Gandhi during the discussion on the Union Budget, Mr. Bhanuprakash Reddy said that the “shallow and incoherent” references reflected the leader’s ignorance. “The fake Gandhi cannot cheat the people. He owes an explanation to the nation on his derogatory references,” he said.

The BJP leader condemned Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s verbal attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He also cited references to the praises heaped by Jawaharlal Nehru and B.R. Ambedkar on the organisation.

Mr. Bhanuprakash Reddy expressed condolences to the families of the landslide victims in Wayanad and asked Mr. Rahul Gandhi to focus on providing succour to the people there.

Congress will never make Uddhav Thackeray Chief Minister face: Milind Deora​

Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora on Saturday took a dig at former Maharashtra Chief Minister Udhhav Thackeray, saying his dream of becoming a Chief Minister will remain a dream.

Deora's remarks came a day after Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said that his party will back a candidate picked by the Congress and Sharad Pawar's party for the Chief Minister candidate.

Stating that he had observed Congress's functioning closely, Deora said the grand old party will not support Uddhav Thackeray for the Chief Minister post for the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.

"Uddhav Thackeray, with hopes of becoming CM, has gone to MVA. After yesterday's incident, it is a clear dream of Uddhav Thackeray to become Chief Minister will remain a dream only. I have closely observed Congress's functioning. I can confidently say they will not support Uddhav for the Chief Minister's post," Deora said.

When asked about the chief ministerial face of ruling Mahayuti, Deora said, "There is no confusion over the chief minister's face in Mahayuti. Very soon it will be declared".

Meanwhile, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut dared the Mahayuti, comprising the rival Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, BJP, and the NCP headed by Ajit Pawar, to declare their Chief Minister's face.

Raut also said Uddhav Thackeray has demonstrated a large heart by offering support to a leader picked by the Congress and NCP (Sharad Pawar).

The Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced the dates for Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana on Friday. However, the poll body did not declare dates for the Maharashtra Assembly polls, citing various logistical reasons, including unavailability of adequate security forces due to the Jammu and Kashmir elections.
