A day after Rahul Gandhi's economic warning, BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla hits back, calls him 'Leader of Propaganda'

New Delhi, June 4 (UNI) A day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi warned of an impending economic crisis and alleged that India's institutions were under pressure, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla on Thursday launched a sharp counterattack, accusing the Leader of Opposition of spreading misinformation and fear.
Reacting to Gandhi's remarks, Poonawalla said that "LOP means Leader of Propaganda, not Leader of Opposition," and alleged that the Congress leader was attempting to create panic through what he described as baseless claims about the economy and democratic institutions.
Referring to Gandhi's comments on the possibility of an Emergency-like situation, Poonawalla said the Congress party itself was historically associated with the Emergency and had little credibility to lecture others on democratic values.
