BJP Dismisses Rahul Gandhis Phone Tapping Allegations as Rumors; Opposition Calls for Investigation

New Delhi, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : Political tensions have escalated in New Delhi following Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s claims regarding phone tapping. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has dismissed these allegations as mere rumors, while opposition parties are calling for a formal investigation.

During a media interaction, Chhattisgarh’s Deputy Chief Minister Arun Saw emphasized that Rahul Gandhi has a tendency to spread misinformation and create confusion. “He often makes contradictory statements, and the current accusations are purely political,” Saw stated. He argued that Gandhi’s intent is to remain in the headlines, asserting that there is no factual basis to his claims. Saw also pointed out that the Special Investigation Report (SIR) has been clarified multiple times, noting that it has been issued 12 times, 10 of which occurred under Congress rule.

Saw further claimed that the SIR was conducted in accordance with constitutional guidelines and accused Congress of perpetuating confusion around the issue. He categorically rejected the notion of mobile tapping as unfounded.

In contrast, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Kishori Pednekar expressed uncertainty about the situation, stating, “I cannot comment on whether his phone is being tapped; only the individual would know.” She called for an investigation to be conducted, urging that any findings should be made public.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Anil Desai remarked that if Gandhi’s claims stem from personal experiences, it raises questions about the state of democracy in the country.

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury defended Gandhi, asserting that all allegations against the current government will ultimately prove true. He stated that Gandhi does not make baseless statements and that the government should acknowledge the seriousness of the phone tapping claims openly.
