Gehlot said that BJP leaders are tired because Gandhi did not back down from raising the voice of the people despite so many attacks.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday hit back at Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad for targeting Rahul Gandhi, saying no one had thought that the two would speak such low language against Gandhi.
He said BJP leaders are tired as Gandhi has not shied away from raising the voice of the people despite so many attacks.
That’s why a task has been given to these leaders who left the Congress. The ideology with which I had vowed to fight throughout my life, today I am standing with the same fascist ideology at the behest of BJP leaders.
Launching a scathing attack on Gandhi and the Congress, Scindia alleged that the party has been left with no ideology other than “traitors working against the country”.
He attacked the Congress for giving “special treatment” to Gandhi after he was convicted in a defamation case. He accused the party of putting pressure on the judiciary and doing everything possible to remain relevant.
Scindia, who was once considered close to Gandhi, left the Congress after differences with the leadership and joined the BJP in 2020.
Similarly, Azad, who quit the Congress last year, said that Gandhi was the primary reason why he and many others were not in the Congress today and claimed that one had to be “spineless” to remain in the old party.
