Bharatiya Janata Party leaders have targeted opposition parties on various issues. The leaders responded on issues like environmental protection, air pollution, Ram temple in Ayodhya, Sonia Gandhi's statement, law and order in West Bengal and ethanol blending.
Regarding environmental protection and air pollution, BJP leader Guru Prakash Paswan said that in view of the current weather conditions, the government is closely monitoring the steps that can be taken to protect the environment.
The Prime Minister has also been calling environmental protection a collective responsibility and our duty towards the coming generations. In such a situation, everyone should discharge this responsibility together. He expressed hope that with the approach of Chhath festival, there may be improvement in the level of air pollution.
At the same time, BJP's national spokesperson Tuhin Sinha raised questions on the statement given by senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in an interview. He said that Sonia Gandhi had talked about feeling sad and crying after the demolition of Babri Masjid.
Tuhin Sinha also referred to the old statement of former Union Minister Salman Khurshid, in which he had talked about Sonia Gandhi getting emotional after the Batla House encounter. In this context, Sinha questioned whether Sonia Gandhi gets emotional only when she sees her vote bank in danger.
Tuhin Sinha targeted Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, calling him a 'political Hindu'. He alleged that Akhilesh Yadav did not get time to visit the Ram temple in Ayodhya in the last three years.
Akhilesh was invited to the consecration ceremony of Ram temple but he did not attend. He also did not participate in another function organized after the completion of the temple construction. As elections approach, Akhilesh Yadav has remembered the temple.
BJP leader Kilaru Dilip Kumar targeted former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He said that instead of pretending to be a victim, Mamata Banerjee should focus on the law and order situation that has deteriorated during her rule. He alleged that political rhetoric and drama will not improve the situation in the state.
Apart from this, Dilip Kumar also reacted to Rahul Gandhi's statements regarding ethanol blending. He said that ethanol blending is a national initiative, which aims to reduce dependence on imported crude oil and save foreign exchange.
