Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has publicly criticized the Congress party, asserting that it is losing public support due to its engagement in 'negative politics.' His comments were sparked by remarks made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who labeled members of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the government as 'traitors.' Rijiju expressed disbelief that Congress leaders fail to recognize how their rhetoric alienates even neutral voters, stating, 'Public hate negative politics!'
BJP leaders have also condemned Gandhi's statements. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma characterized Gandhi's comments as indicative of the Congress party's political frustration and a loss of decorum. Similarly, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized Gandhi's remarks, calling him a 'Yuvraj' whose comments reflect a disrespect for democratic values.
Gandhi's remarks, made during a party meeting in Raebareli, included claims of economic mismanagement by the BJP-led government, linking it to a potential economic crisis. He urged party workers to confront RSS members with accusations of betrayal against the nation and the Constitution. The controversy has intensified the ongoing political tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress party.
