BJP slams Congress over army remarks, voter list revision and OBC welfare

New Delhi, July 16 (UNI) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today launched a scathing attack on Congress and its leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, accusing them of disrespecting India’s armed forces, distorting electoral processes, and neglecting the welfare of the OBC community.
In a press briefing here, BJP National Spokesperson Ajay Alok began by criticising Rahul Gandhi for his controversial statements about the Indian Army, including his accusation that China was “beating” Indian soldiers, a remark that led to a legal case being filed against him. He criticised Gandhi for repeatedly insulting the armed forces, referring to the Army Chief as a "street thug" and military operations as "blood trade."
Rahul Gandhi had to present himself in a Lucknow court yesterday for his statements, later being granted conditional bail, Alok said, and emphasised that Gandhi’s conduct reflected a pattern of disrespect for the military and national security.
