Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology of India and a BJP stalwart, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, known for his unwavering commitment to Hindu faith and national development, has vehemently criticized Congress scion Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks, labeling them as "insulting to the Hindu faith" and divisive in nature.
Expressing his dismay over Gandhi's comments, Chandrasekhar remarked, "They are either saying things that are outright lies, or they say things that are absolutely insulting to the Hindu faith, or they do things that are dividing communities."
Chandrasekhar, a staunch advocate for the principles of democracy and transparency, highlighted the contrasting electoral performance of the Congress party in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Despite the resounding mandate given to the BJP-led NDA government by the people of India, Chandrasekhar emphasized the need for a robust opposition that respects democratic norms and contributes constructively to the nation's progress.
Rahul Gandhi's recent comments, made during an address in Maharashtra, drew sharp criticism from Chandrasekhar and other BJP leaders. Gandhi's reference to "Shakti" in Hinduism and his allegations regarding the integrity of EVMs and autonomous institutions of the country were viewed by Chandrasekhar as attempts to undermine the democratic process and discredit government institutions.
In response to Gandhi's remarks on the Election Commission's actions ahead of elections, Chandrasekhar reiterated the Commission's commitment to ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections.
He emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles and criticized the Congress for resorting to baseless allegations and political mudslinging.
Addressing allegations raised against him by opposition leader VD Satheeshan, Chandrasekhar dismissed them as part of a larger political strategy by the Congress to tarnish the image of the BJP.
He emphasized that the BJP remains focused on its agenda of development, progress, and prosperity, despite attempts by the opposition to create false narratives.
Chandrasekhar's unwavering support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for India's growth and development reflects his commitment to serving the nation's interests.
As a prominent leader within the BJP, Chandrasekhar continues to advocate for policies that promote national unity, economic prosperity, and social harmony.
