Rahul trying to divert and mislead people, insulted OBCs, says BJP

While addressing a press conference, BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad said Rahul Gandhi's problem is that the people are not voting for the Congress party

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday in a press conference addressed by senior leader Ravi Shankar Prasad in Patna.

He said in the press conference that the Rahul Gandhi's problem is that the people are not voting for the Congress party and if he continues insulting people of backward class, he will not get votes in the future too.

He said, "In his press conference, Rahul Gandhi tried to make false statements and did not speak on the subject. Rahul Gandhi has been punished for his speech in 2019. Today he said 'I speak thoughtfully' which means whatever Rahul Gandhi said in 2019, it was spoken thoughtfully."

"Congress party could have obtained a stay on the decision of Surat court. They have deliberately not obtained the stay order to utilise the issue during the Karnataka assembly election. He is trying to become a martyr...Rahul Gandhi did the press conference in Delhi in a well-planned manner. He wants to present himself sacrificial and take benefit in the Karnataka assembly election," the BJP leader asserted.

"The Congress party has a number of prominent lawyers. Why they did not obtain the stay. Today, Rahul Gandhi has again told a lie that he had not said anything in London... When his party wins election, Rahul Gandhi thinks the Election Commission is genuine and when he loses, the Election Commission becomes bad," Prasad said.
