Rahul Gandhi biggest source of rumours, negativity: Bali Bhagat

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 24: Senior BJP leader and former Health Minister, Bali Bhagat on Sunday launched a fierce attack on Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi over his reported statement predicting the fall of the Narendra Modi-led Government within a year, accusing him of spreading misinformation, promoting instability and attempting to create unrest after repeated electoral defeats.
Bhagat said Rahul Gandhi’s remarks made during the Congress Party’s minority advisory meeting exposed the “desperation, frustration and anti-democratic mindset” of the Congress party.
“Rahul Gandhi’s statement is not a casual political remark. It reflects a dangerous conspiracy to destabilise a democratically elected Government through confusion, unrest and anarchy. After repeated defeats, Rahul Gandhi is now dreaming of capturing power through chaos because he knows the people are rejecting him electorally,” Bhagat said.
He asserted that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi continues to enjoy the trust and blessings of 140 crore Indians and said no conspiracy can weaken a Government backed by the people’s mandate.
“The Modi Government stands strong because it is built on the faith of the people, not on appeasement, propaganda or dynastic politics. Governments in India are changed through ballots, not through manufactured unrest,” he added.
Taking a sharp dig at Rahul Gandhi, Bhagat said the Congress MP has failed to uphold the dignity of the Leader of Opposition’s post and has instead become “the biggest source of rumours, negativity and misinformation in the country.”
“He has no vision, no seriousness and no connect with the aspirations of modern India. His politics today revolves around spreading lies, dividing society and weakening public confidence,” Bhagat alleged.
The BJP leader further attacked Congress leaders for allegedly using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“These are the same Congress leaders who keep abusing Prime Minister, Modi day and night. Rahul Gandhi called the Prime Minister a ‘traitor’, while Congress president, Mallikarjun Kharge compared him to a ‘terrorist’. People of the country can clearly see their mentality. Those who have no moral ground, no political credibility and no respect for democratic institutions cannot lecture the nation or make predictions about India’s future,” Bhagat said.
