BJP Highlights Rahul Gandhi's Past Remarks on Hindutva, Questions Congress on EC AppointmentsPreviousNext

The BJP released a video highlighting Rahul Gandhi's past remarks on Hindutva and Hinduism, accusing him of pretending to be a Hindu during election periods. This follows Gandhi's recent social media post featuring a sacred Hindu symbol after his acquittal in a defamation case. The BJP also questioned the Congress over its criticism of the chief election commissioner appointment process, noting that such procedures were less formal during Congress rule. The video includes Gandhi's statements criticizing Hindutva supporters and religious figures.
