New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday launched a recent assault on Rahul Gandhi, saying the Congress chief’s refusal to apologise to the OBC neighborhood for his “indecent” feedback is one more “manifestation” of the Gandhi household’s political vanity. BJP chief and Union Minister Smriti Irani alleged that Gandhi was making an attempt to “rip” aside the picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But the Congress chief is not going to succeed because the individuals of the nation are with the prime minister, she asserted at a press convention.
“In an interview to a magazine in 2019, Gandhi in his own words had claimed that Modi’s greatest strength is his image and that he would will rip his image apart,” Irani stated.
“The political psychosis of Rahul Gandhi is at full display. He abused and accused Modi in Parliament but could not verify his own statement by authenticating it with his own signature,” she stated.
Such is the political frustration of Gandhi {that a} promise he made couldn’t be fructified and therefore, he continues together with his tirade in opposition to Modi, the BJP chief stated.
“So Rahul Gandhi your promise made to a magazine editor that you will rip Modi’s image apart is a promise that shall remain unfulfilled because Narendra Modi’s greatest strength is the people of India,” Irani stated.

Referring to his conviction and sentencing in a prison defamation case, she stated that “Rahul Gandhi could not develop the humility to beg for the forgiveness of the OBC community in our country is just another manifestation of a political arrogance called the Gandhi family”.
Following his conviction and two-year sentencing within the case by a Surat courtroom over his “Modi surname” comment on March 23, Gandhi was disqualified as a member of Lok Sabha.
