New Delhi, July 21 (TIWN) After BJP President J.P. Nadda attacked Rahul Gandhi over his video on China and called out the "dynasty's shenanigans" and China's "strategic investments in one dynasty", the Congress has launched a counter offensive on the BJP.
"Tragic that Nadda ji is sounding more and more like a troll version of the 'Bhakts'," said Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala. "He (Rahul) posed questions for BJP and asked 'Why are you and PM scared of even naming China, much less address brazen Chinese transgressions?' and 'How do you propose to reclaim our territory & ensure status quo ante?" said Surjewala. The fresh war of words began after Gandhi released his second video on Monday where he said that, "The Prime Minister fabricated a fake strongman image to come to power. It was his biggest strength. It is now India's biggest weakness."
Gandhi said it is not simply a border issue. "The worry I have is that the Chinese are sitting in our territory today. Chinese don't do anything without thinking about strategies. In their mind they have mapped out a world and they are trying to shape the world. That's the scale of what they are doing, what is Gwadar and what is One Belt and One Road. It is restructuring of the planet. So if you are thinking of the Chinese you have to understand that," he said. But it was promptly rebutted by BJP chief Nadda.
