BJP against Rahul Gandhi
The Bharatiya Janata Party [BJP] was quick to denounce Rahul Gandhi’s 2019 remark regarding the Modi surname as an insult to Other Backward Classes [OBC], arguing that the Wayanad MP’s exclusion from Lok Sabha was the obvious result of the court order and reiterating that the law was the same for everyone.
While J.P. Nadda, the head of the BJP, claimed that the Congressman’s comments revealed a “pathetic and casteist mindset,”. Leaders of the Opposition who had previously kept distinct themselves from the Congress party, including Mamata Banerjee of the TMC, Akhilesh Yadav of the Samajwadi Party, K. Chandrashekhar Rao of the BRS, and Arvind Kejriwal of the AAP, came out in favour of Mr. Rahul Gandhi.
