The political discourse intensified after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongly criticised the Congress for defending Rahul Gandhi following comments made by Robert Vadra. The BJP accused the Congress of standing firmly behind Rahul Gandhi regardless of the situation, claiming the party “always comes in defence of its lost child.”
The remarks surfaced after Robert Vadra made statements targeting the BJP leadership. In response, BJP leaders alleged that the Congress continues to shield Rahul Gandhi instead of addressing core political issues. According to the BJP, the Congress leadership uses such remarks as a diversion from its lack of direction and declining national influence.
Party spokespersons argued that Robert Vadra’s comments were an attempt to regain relevance for the Congress ecosystem, which they claim is struggling with leadership challenges. The BJP further stated that Rahul Gandhi’s political approach has weakened the party’s standing, yet Congress leaders consistently rally around him instead of demanding accountability.
The Congress has not issued a detailed reaction to the BJP’s criticism, but party insiders maintain that attacks on Rahul Gandhi are politically motivated and aimed at diverting attention from governance failures.
The exchange highlights the ongoing rivalry between the two national parties, with both sides intensifying their rhetoric ahead of upcoming electoral battles.
