Maharashtra BJP Chief Criticizes Congress and Rahul Gandhi Over Electoral AllegationsPreviousNext

Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan criticized the Congress party and its leader Rahul Gandhi for alleged political double standards, accusing them of selectively questioning electoral outcomes while ignoring their own setbacks. Chavan echoed Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks highlighting the Congress's prolonged absence from power in several states despite alliance partners governing there. Both leaders called for the Congress to introspect on its declining electoral performance and questioned its credibility in raising allegations of vote theft.
