BJP Criticizes Sonia Gandhis Book, Claims It Reveals Corruption and Vote Bank Politics
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari criticizes Sonia Gandhis book, linking it to corruption and electoral failures of the Congress party.
New Delhi, November 10 (Daily Kiran) : BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari has sharply criticized Congress MP Imran Masood’s comments regarding Sonia Gandhi’s new book and the Diwali festival. He stated that the book exposes the Congress party and the Gandhi-Vadra family’s connection to vote bank politics and corruption. Bhandari argued that these issues have consistently plagued the Congress party, leading to defeats in the 2014, 2019, and 2024 elections, and predicted further losses in 2029.
Bhandari emphasized that the book reveals a mindset centered around the Babri Masjid issue, vote banks, and appeasement politics. He pointed out the absence of any mention of the Bofors corruption scandal in the book, questioning why Sonia Gandhi did not address the alleged ties between her family and the scandal that contributed to the fall of the government in 1989. Instead of apologizing for corruption or addressing vote bank politics, Bhandari claimed that Gandhi’s narrative perpetuates the same problematic thinking.
The BJP spokesperson suggested that this entrenched mindset has cost the Gandhi-Vadra family in past elections. He asserted that the book confirms a lack of change in their approach, predicting that the Congress party will face challenges in the 2029 elections due to the ongoing issues related to the Babri Masjid and Bofors.
Bhandari also responded critically to Masood’s remarks during Diwali, stating that those influenced by vote bank politics cannot genuinely respect Sanatan Dharma. He referenced Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge’s Diwali greetings, which included a mention of Eid, accusing the party of previously labeling Hindus as violent and terrorist.
Linking Masood’s comments to broader party strategies, Bhandari claimed that Congress supports public prayers while disparaging Diwali. He warned that this mindset could lead to significant electoral setbacks for Congress in the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections and the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
