BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan has strongly criticized Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, calling him 'politically bankrupt' and accusing him of degrading public discourse. This criticism follows Gandhi's recent remarks about the central government's handling of foreign policy and economic threats, where he warned of an impending 'economic storm' due to global tensions. Kesavan claimed that Gandhi's statements reflect a troubling pattern of 'misconduct' that undermines India's international standing and echoes the Congress party's historical failures. He expressed that Gandhi's actions during his 'Bharat Badnam Yatra' are damaging to national interests. In response, Gandhi has intensified his criticisms of PM Modi, particularly regarding the Prime Minister's recent diplomatic efforts, including a controversial gift during a five-nation visit. Gandhi has firmly stated that he will not apologize for his remarks, labeling Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah as 'traitors' for their attacks on the Constitution. This exchange underscores the ongoing political rivalry between the BJP and Congress, particularly as Gandhi faces challenges following multiple electoral defeats.
