Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge

In a scathing response to BJP chief JP Nadda’s “anti-nationalist toolkit” barb directed at Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Friday, claimed the BJP never took part in India’s Independence struggle and instead tried to hamper the movement by siding with the Britishers.

Kharge in a statement to news agency ANI said the saffron party which, according to him, never participated in the country’s freedom struggle and allegedly “worked for Britishers”, have no authority to call anyone anti-national as… “they (BJP) themselves are anti-national.”

The Congress chief claimed that the BJP was hyping the issue to deviate from real issues like unemployment and inflation which are plaguing the country. Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s comments on Indian democracy, Kharge asked if people debating about democracy can be dubbed anti-national.                                                                                              

Condemning Nadda’s barb, he said that the Congress scion will issue a strong response to the BJP National President’s remarks in the Parliament.

Kharge asked why the BJP were scared of what Rahul Gandhi had to say in the Parliament and hence didn’t allow him to speak.

The veteran Congress reiterated his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that PM Modi had “insulted” Indians multiple times while abroad but nobody raised an eyebrow.

He asked why PM Modi, who “insulted” people of the country during foreign trips is calling the Congress anti-national. Kharge also asked for an apology from the Prime Minister for his comments abroad.

Earlier today, JP Nadda dubbed Rahul Gandhi as a permanent part of the “anti-nationalist toolkit” as the saffron party stepped up its attack on the Congress scion over his remarks on Indian democracy in the United Kingdom.

Speaking to news agency ANI, Nadda said it was after unfortunate that the Congress is “indulging in anti-national activities” after he claimed, it was “rejected” by the nation in multiple elections, adding that Gandhi has now become a permanent part of this “anti-nationalist toolkit.”

The BJP chief claimed that Rahul Gandhi is “insulting” the nation abroad while India is on track to become the 5th largest economy and is hosting G20 and other important world meeting. Nadda also questioned the intention behind Wayanad MP’s “demand” of another country intervening in India’s internal matters.

Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said he was confident the BJP will win with huge majority in Rajasthan ahead of counting of votes in Rajasthan. He said the fight today is between the massive governance of Prime minister Narendra Modi and the misgovernance of the Congress party.

The Congress party will try to return to power again. The BJP’s election campaign will be focused on an anti incumbency wave in the state. Rathore said the fact that people of the state had come out in large numbers to vote meant that they wanted to bring a change. According to exit polls the BJP have a slight edge over the ruling Congress party in Rajasthan. He said there won’t be a close contest and the BJP will win the elections with a vast majority.

Rajyavardhan Rathore said the party leadership will announce who will be the chief minister after the results have been declared. He said everything comes at the right time. He said once the results are out the party leadership will take the decision at the right time.

The campaign has been intense on both sides. The BJP had pulled all stops in line with an established election template as senior ministers had been deployed and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress had followed a grassroots campaign with frequent appearances by its central leaders.

Chief minister Ashok Gehlot said he was confident that he had beaten the jinx on the fortunes of the party in power. The BJP rode high on the trend and the power of brand Modi. Eight of the nine exit polls gave the BJP a comfortable, if not a strong victory. The aggregrate indicated that the BJP may get 104 seats and Congress 86. But like the difference in the price of cooking gas they are offering- The Congress party – Rs 500 and the BJP’s Rs 450: the gap is marginal.
