BJP criticized former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot's statement that Indira Gandhi would have banned the BJP for its religious politics, calling it a reflection of Congress's authoritarian tendencies and intolerance towards Hindutva.
Former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot accused the BJP of practicing politics in the name of religion, undermining democratic institutions, and using central agencies against opponents. He urged regional parties to support Rahul Gandhi against PM Modi.
Sachin Pilot downplayed Ashok Gehlot's recent criticism, emphasizing party unity and affection. Pilot highlighted national issues like exam paper leaks and rising prices, vowing to strengthen Congress and challenge the BJP. He also criticized the Rajasthan government and alleged institutional pressure regarding Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination.
