Rahul Gandhi vs BJP: 'Insulting the country on foreign soil is Rahul's old habit', BJP lashes out at Congress MP

BJP is on the offensive against the statement of the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in Boston, USA, and his involvement in the National Herald case. Rahul raised questions on the Indian election process and the Election Commission during his US visit. Regarding this, MP Sambit Patra said, 'It is Rahul Gandhi's old habit to insult the country on foreign soil. He has been doing this for a long time.

'Can also go to jail for looting the country'

He said that the ED has mentioned the names of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in its charge sheet. They can also go to jail for looting the country. Meanwhile, the Congress party is creating an atmosphere of unrest in the whole country. Those who are out on bail of Rs 50,000, if they think that they can destroy the image of this great democracy by going abroad and speaking there, then they are completely wrong.

'Wherever they lose, they say the Election Commission and EVM are wrong'

On Rahul Gandhi's statement, Union Minister Sukant Majumdar said that Rahul Gandhi should decide whether there was a separate Election Commission in the country when he won in Jharkhand? Wherever he wins, he says EVM is fine and wherever he loses, he says the Election Commission and EVM are wrong.

'Condemnable attack on constitutional institutions of India'

BJP leader CR Kesavan said, 'Rahul Gandhi is out on bail in the National Herald case along with Sam Pitroda. Both have been chargesheeted and now they have embarked on a journey to defame India. A journey to abuse India, once again on foreign soil. Rahul Gandhi has once again made a condemnable attack on the constitutional institutions of India. He has made an unsuccessful attempt to weaken India's democracy. Rahul Gandhi has given this statement about the Election Commission in America.

What did Rahul Gandhi say?

Rahul Gandhi said at Brown University in Boston, 'It is quite clear to us that the Election Commission has compromised and it is quite clear that there is something wrong with the system. I have said many times that more people voted in the Maharashtra Assembly elections than the number of adults in Maharashtra. The Election Commission gave us the voting data till 5:30 pm and 65 lakh voters voted between 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm. This can't happen. It takes about 3 minutes for a voter to vote and if you do the math, it means that there were queues of voters till 2 am, but this did not happen. When we asked them for videography, they not only refused but also changed the law so that now we cannot ask for videography.'

Had to clarify when the BJP cornered

Congress leader Pramod Tiwari also reacted to Rahul Gandhi's statement. He said that why does the BJP not improve itself or the Election Commission? Rahul Gandhi has given facts in what he said during his study speech, but is this fact not known in America? Unless the Election Commission of this country is impartial, independent or free from any pressure, how will democracy survive?
