Analysed 10 Oct 2026·4 sources analysed·Kolkata, India·Politics
Maharashtra BJP Chief Criticizes Congress and Rahul Gandhi Over Political StrategyPreviousNext

Maharashtra BJP President Ravindra Chavan criticized the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi for alleged political double standards, accusing them of changing positions for convenience and selectively questioning electoral outcomes. Chavan echoed Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks highlighting Congress's long absence from chief ministerial posts in several states despite alliance presence. Shah also questioned Rahul Gandhi's leadership and the cohesion of the opposition INDIA alliance. The BJP framed these comments as calls for Congress introspection following electoral setbacks.
