BJP President Nitin Naveen has accused Rahul Gandhi of spreading instability in the country. Referring to the statement of a Congress minister about 40 lakh youth, he said that India's democracy is strong and it cannot be weakened by spreading anarchy.
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party's National President Nitin Naveen has made serious political allegations against Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi is being used as a toolkit of foreign powers, whose aim is to create instability in the country. In an interview given on Saturday, November 7, Naveen said that the roots of India's democratic system are very strong and no force can weaken it easily.
'Can't spread anarchy in India with foreign toolkit'
BJP President Nitin Naveen, in an interview given to news agency IANS, raised questions on Rahul Gandhi's politics and the opposition's protests. He alleged that Congress leaders are trying to create distrust among the people regarding the constitutional institutions of the country. Naveen said that the political and social conditions of India are different from other countries. The roots of democracy are strong here. In such a situation, if someone is thinking of spreading instability in the country with the help of foreign powers, then he will not succeed.
Accusing Rahul Gandhi of being part of the foreign toolkit, he said that BJP has been raising this issue earlier also. However, in support of his allegations, he did not present any evidence of Rahul Gandhi's direct connection with any foreign organization or country.
Controversy over Congress minister's statement about 40 lakh youth
Nitin Naveen also mentioned a statement by Jharkhand Government Health Minister and Congress leader Irfan Ansari. Ansari had claimed that about 40 lakh youth in the country are ready to protest and are waiting for instructions from Rahul Gandhi. According to Ansari, these youth are angry with the policies of the government, but Rahul Gandhi is stopping them at the moment.
The BJP President asked questions to the Congress leadership regarding this statement. He said that when Congress ministers are talking about such a large number of people taking to the streets, then Rahul Gandhi should clarify his position on this. Naveen had also asked Rahul Gandhi on social media platform X on Friday whether his silence on the minister's statement should be considered as consent. However, Irfan Ansari claims that 40 lakh youth are ready to protest. Independent confirmation of this has not emerged.
Challenged Rahul Gandhi to debate in Parliament
The BJP President also advised Rahul Gandhi to present his views in Parliament. He said that in a democracy everyone has the right to oppose the government and ask questions, but for this it is necessary to follow parliamentary traditions. According to Naveen, being the leader of opposition, Rahul Gandhi has an important platform like Parliament. They should use it to question the policies of the government.
He said that BJP has also conducted movements from Parliament to the streets while being in opposition. But it is important to keep in mind democratic decorum during political protests. He also reacted to Rahul Gandhi's challenge to debate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Naveen said that if Congress leaders have questions about the government, they can come to Parliament and raise them. BJP will answer them there.
Politics of Gandhi family also targeted
Nitin Naveen also raised questions about Congress politics. He alleged that Rahul Gandhi associates power with his family and feels that the Gandhi family should dominate the country's politics. The BJP President said that his party's political journey has been associated with long struggles. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi does not have such political experience.
Naveen also sought an account from the Congress leader of the development work done in the parliamentary constituencies he has previously represented. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked in public life for a long time. To reach a big political position, one has to work hard and work among the public continuously.
What did you say on the issue of Election Commission and voter list?
Nitin Naveen also targeted Rahul Gandhi regarding the Special Intensive Review Process or SIR of the Election Commission. He said that checking and improving the voter list has been happening earlier also. In such a situation, instead of repeatedly raising questions on this process, the opposition should put forward concrete complaints. The BJP president alleged that after losing the elections, the Congress raises questions on the Election Commission and other constitutional institutions.
On the other hand, Congress and opposition parties are raising questions about the transparency of the SIR process and the possibility of names of eligible voters being removed from the list. There is a continuous political dispute going on between the two sides on this issue.
