BJP chief Nadda writes to Congress' Kharge, lists abuses against PM Modi

PTC News Desk: BJP national president JP Nadda on Thursday slammed his Congress counterpart Mallikarjun Kharge, two days after the latter wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and expressed his “concern and disappointment” over remarks made against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.

In his letter to Kharge, BJP head JP Nadda listed derogatory terms used by Congress leaders against the Prime Minister in the past. Taking a shot at Gandhi, Nadda wrote that the Congress has once again tried to polish and relaunch a "failed product" that the people have repeatedly rejected.

"Wasn't it Rahul Gandhi's mother Sonia Gandhi who used the derogatory expression 'maut ka saudagar' (merchant of death) for Modiji? You and your party glorified such shameless statements. Had the Congress forgotten political decorum then?" asked Mr Nadda.

Nadda claimed that the country's oldest party has become a "copy & paste" party as a result of Gandhi's pressure and has taken on his ills.

Congress leaders, he added, referred to the Prime Minister as a "snake," "scorpion," "demon," "pickpocket," and "coward." "Even his parents were insulted," Nadda said.

The BJP president accused Gandhi of using reservation and caste politics to incite people against one another. "Then he goes abroad and talks about ending reservation and snatching away rights of people from Dalit, backward classes and tribal communities," he added.

Nadda claimed that the Congress has insulted Indian democracy the most. "The Congress imposed Emergency, backed triple talaq, defamed Constitutional institutions and weakened them."
