New Delhi: The BJP on Friday hit out at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his allegation of phone tapping, accusing him of making “absurd allegations” without evidence.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, hours ago, alleged that he has proof of allegations against Narendra Modi on his phone, which is being “tapped by the prime minister.”
Gandhi also claimed that a one-on-one debate with Modi will end the prime minister’s political career. He challenged Modi for a debate in Parliament earlier in the month.
Talking to PTI Videos, BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha said Gandhi believes in “hit-and-run politics” and makes fresh allegations every few days without caring to prove them.
“Rahul Gandhi believes in hit-and-run politics. He thinks he can make an absurd allegation one day, does not feel obligated to provide evidence in support of it, and within three days, when he is unable to prove his allegation, he deflects to another issue,” Sinha said.
Referring to Gandhi’s earlier claim that senior bureaucrats in the government were sharing information with him, Sinha questioned how the two allegations could be reconciled.
“Either Rahul Gandhi’s first allegation was true or his second allegation is true. But the point is that Rahul Gandhi is a habitual liar. He cannot live without spreading a fresh lie or a fresh canard every new day,” he said.
Sinha also referred to Gandhi’s meeting with President Droupadi Murmu last month, alleging that the Congress leader even then failed to provide evidence to support his claims of vote theft.
“Five weeks ago, Rahul Gandhi had met President Droupadi Murmu and she had asked him to come back with evidence on the ‘vote chori’. He did not care to go back to the President or seek a fresh appointment with her,” he said.
“Today, he claims that all the evidence is in his phone and, therefore, his phone is being tapped,” he said.
Sinha said Gandhi should “grow up” and seek professional medical help if he is experiencing delusions.
