New Delhi. BJP has strongly retaliated against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and raising questions on the Election Commission. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi has described Rahul Gandhi's political understanding as zero. The BJP leader taunted and said that Rahul Gandhi, the great chemist who introduced hydrogen gas by proclaiming 'Shiromani' of Indian politics and 'hydrogen bomb', once again demonstrated a PPT. He said that I have been understanding politics for 50 years whereas his own age is only 56 years. I think only a bearded young man can have such an amazing talent of understanding politics at the age of five.

Sudhanshu Trivedi said, Rahul Gandhi said that 'anti-incumbency' (anti-incumbency wave) is an established truth in this country and this is happening since BJP came to power. I think that from political point of view, Rahul Gandhi has zero knowledge and wisdom. What Rahul Gandhi does not know is that Congress never returned to power in Tamil Nadu since 1967, when Bharatiya Janata Party did not even exist. Congress has not returned to power in Bengal since 1977. There was a Communist government there for 34 years from 1977 to 2011 and Rahul Gandhi is unable to understand. There has never been Congress in Bihar since 1990. There has been no Congress government in Uttar Pradesh since 1989. Mamata Banerjee's government was in power three times. There has been a continuous Communist Party government in Tripura, Rahul Gandhi does not even know.
The BJP leader said, in the times when Congress was in power for a long time, there were no voter ID cards, when booth capturing, looting of ballot boxes and firing were common. In states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, there was hardly any election in which people were not killed or injured, so 'anti-incumbency' did not work for the Congress either. Ever since transparent elections have been held, local police have been replaced by central paramilitary forces, CCTV cameras have arrived, live footage has been available, ever since the media and judiciary have become independent, Congress has been waiting to come to power. Yes, it is true that after the arrival of Rahul and Sonia Gandhi, Congress has to face more 'anti-incumbency'.
