'Ugly truth exposed': BJP slams Rahul Gandhi over his 'Opposition fighting Indian state' remark

New Delhi/IBNS: The Bharatiya Janata Party Wednesday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after he said the Opposition was fighting not just the BJP, but the Indian State.

Union Health Minister and BJP President JP Nadda said the Congress's "ugly truth now stands exposed".

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman asked why Gandhi carried a copy of the Constitution if he thought the Opposition was fighting the State.

Addressing a gathering at the inauguration of the Congress's new headquarters in Delhi, Gandhi attacked the BJP and its ideological parent RSS.

"Do not think that we are fighting a fair fight. There is no fairness in this. If you believe that we are fighting a political organisation called the BJP or RSS, you have not understood what is going on. The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian State itself" Gandhi said at the event.

In his post on X, JP Nadda said: "It is not a secret that Mr. Gandhi and his ecosystem have close links with Urban Naxals and the Deep State who want to defame, demean and discredit India."

Finance Minister Sitharaman said the Leader of the Opposition, who took the oath on the Constitution, is saying he is fighting the Indian State.

Gandhi also launched a scathing attack on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for his remark that India got "true independence" after the Ram Temple in Ayodhya was consecrated.

He said the RSS chief's comment amounted to "treason" and that he would be arrested and tried if he was in any other country.
