Rahul Gandhi Alleges Phone Tapping by PM Modi; BJP Denies Claims Amid Political Debate
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is tapping his phone and challenged him to a public debate. The BJP dismissed the claims as baseless, with leaders like Rajeev Chandrasekhar calling Gandhi's allegations lies. Congress figures such as Supriya Shrinate and Akhilesh Yadav supported Gandhi's claims, citing concerns over surveillance and electoral manipulation. Meanwhile, Congress leader Sam Pitroda distanced himself from Gandhi's specific accusation against Modi but confirmed his own devices were under surveillance. The debate highlights ongoing political tensions over privacy and accountability.
