CHANDIGARH: BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Tuesday strongly condemned Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for promoting a divisive agenda in the country.
In a statement, Chugh said that the sole purpose of Rahul Gandhi’s address in the Lok Sabha was to foster class division in society for his political gains. It appears that Rahul Gandhi is playing into the hands of foreign powers to create class divisions and push the country into a state of unrest, he added.
Chugh noted that instead of discussing various features of the budget, Rahul Gandhi’s focus was on creating division at a time when the Modi government is moving forward with the core mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” (Together with All, Development for All).
Chugh criticized Rahul Gandhi for misleading the country on caste-based reservations and spreading falsehoods. He pointed out that the Gandhi family has a long history of spreading social discord and frenzy. He advised Rahul Gandhi to read about the opposition to OBC reservations by his ancestors, former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv Gandhi vehemently opposed OBC reservations in the House, and both Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi ensured it was not implemented for the first ten years. Chugh stated that Rahul Gandhi should stop shedding crocodile tears. He has dishonored the dignity of the House by presenting incorrect facts and behaving irresponsibly.
Chugh further stated that Rahul Gandhi’s Congress has lost more than a dozen elections over the past decade and a half. This time, Congress has completed a hat-trick of defeats. What Rahul Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha was driven by feelings of frustration and despair, marking one of the most shameful and unconstitutional moments in parliamentary democracy, he said.
