BJP President JP Nadda on Friday accused Congress of playing tricks to “divide” India ahead of the Bihar elections, claiming that its leader Rahul Gandhi praised Pakistan while another veteran, P. Chidambaram, wanted it to Article 370 returned to Jammu and Kashmir.
Nadda expressed her anger in response to a tweet from former Union minister and congressional leader Chidambaram.
In a tweet, Chidambaram had said that Congress was advocating the restoration of the status and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“The central government must stop viewing the majority parties and the people of J&K as secessionists or anti-nationals,” Chidambaram said in a tweet.
“Congress also strongly advocates for the restoration of the status and rights of the J&K people. The arbitrary and unconstitutional decisions of the Modi government of August 5, 2019 must be rescinded, ”he added.
Nadda responded to this tweet and accused Congress of playing a trick.
“Since Congress has no good governance agenda to talk about, they have reverted to their dirty tricks of ‘Divide India’ ahead of the Bihar elections. Shri Rahul Gandhi praises Pakistan and Shri Chidambaram says Congress wants Article 370 back. Shameful! “The head of the BJP tweeted lashing out at the top exponents of Congress.
In a tweet earlier today, Rahul Gandhi dug into the center of the IMF’s projection that the Indian economy will contract by a massive 10.3 percent this year, saying it was another “solid achievement” by the government.
Gandhi labeled a graph showing the IMF’s 2020-21 growth projections for Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, China, Bhutan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and India. The Indian economy, according to the graph, is projected to contract 10.3 percent this year, the highest contraction among the countries mentioned.
“Even Pakistan and Afghanistan handled Covid better than India,” he added.
