Echoing the condemnation over Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Shakti’ remark in Maharashtra, BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Monday said that the Congress MP is a ‘habitual offender’.
Lashing out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his recent remarks in Maharashtra Chugh said, “Rahul Gandhi is looking at India through the eyes of a foreigner from Italy. He is trying to defame the country and create confusion. He has been continuously making nefarious attempts.”
“The Congress party is a ‘habitual offender’. They (Congress) sometimes insult the army, sometimes the religion, sometimes the country, sometimes the institutions of the country,” Chugh said.
Rahul Gandhi, in his comments made on Sunday in Maharashtra, had raised concerns about the operation of EVMs, to emphasize the opposition’s struggle against the might of the state.
“There is a word ‘Shakti’ (might) in Hinduism. We are fighting against a Shakti (might of the state). The question is, what is that Shakti and what does it entail for us? The soul and integrity of EVMs have been traded to the King (Modi). This is a fact. Not just EVMs but every autonomous institution of the country, be it the ED, CBI or Income Tax department, have traded their spines to the Centre,” Rahul said in an address in Mumbai.
