In a recent diplomatic clash, the BJP vehemently criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for what it claims are derogatory comments about India's democracy, made during his speech at a seminar in Colombia. Gandhi's remarks are being interpreted as an attempt to degrade the country's global standing.
Gandhi faced backlash over his assertions about India's democratic structure, with the BJP accusing him of dishonoring the nation's martyrs who fought for freedom. This dispute reignites long-standing tensions between the BJP and Congress, with accusations that Gandhi's statements are politically motivated.
Meanwhile, BJP leaders, including Ravi Shankar Prasad, have condemned Gandhi, arguing that his comments abroad are reflective of a desperate bid to regain power. They advised the Congress leader to stop maligning India, saying that it could backfire politically by alienating voters.
