New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Ajay Alok on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, claiming that under his leadership, the party has lost over 90 elections, which he described as a “world record.”
Sarcastically, Alok suggested that Gandhi should consider taking Pakistani citizenship, arguing that “nobody in India is interested in him, while even Shahid Afridi praises him across the border.”
“Rahul Gandhi has already set a Guinness World Record. The Congress has lost more than 90 elections under his leadership. People in India have stopped taking him seriously, so my suggestion is that he should take Pakistani citizenship. He is very popular there, even Afridi sings his praises. What’s the need for him in India anymore?” Alok told IANS, responding to Gandhi’s recent statements and the Congress’ defence of Sam Pitroda’s controversial remarks.
Commenting on RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s ongoing political tour, Alok said it was merely a fight for “political survival.”
“First, Rahul Gandhi launched his yatra to save the Congress, now Tejashwi is rattled and has started his journey. But ultimately, it will end up as a jail yatra only,” he remarked.
Targeting the RJD, Alok alleged that the party’s DNA was entrenched in “abuse, corruption, and crime,” referring to a recent incident where RJD workers reportedly abused Prime Minister Modi’s late mother. “It is no surprise. This is their character. I don’t even expect them to apologise. But the people of Bihar and the country are watching,” he said.
Alok also commented on the rift within the Lalu Prasad Yadav family, alleging, “This is a highly corrupt family. Except Rohini Acharya, everyone is out on bail. Even she will eventually be dragged into cases. It’s like eaglets attacking the weakest one for survival.”
On GST reforms, Alok welcomed Prime Minister Modi’s address during the festive season of Mahalaya and Navratri, saying it would bring “sweetness” to the atmosphere. He also praised proposals in Odisha schools to include readings from the Bhagavad Gita, adding, “Remembering our culture and nation every morning is not wrong.”
