BJP Calls Rahul Gandhi 'Black Spot' on Indian Democracy, says 'He Stands With China'

New Delhi: Launching a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi , Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday said that Lok Sabha's Leader of Opposition stands with China and not India while calling him a “black spot” on Indian democracy. 

"Everyone knows that Rahul Gandhi is an immature and part-time leader. But people have put a huge responsibility on his shoulders since he became the leader of opposition (in the Lok Sabha). But I feel sad to say that Rahul Gandhi is a black spot in Indian democracy. He does not even know what to talk about when he visits a foreign country," BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said at a press conference. 

Rahul Gandhi Is Part-Time Leader, Weakens India

Reacting sharply to Rahul's remarks praising China, Bhatia said Gandhi cannot "utter a single word or give a statement against China". 

"He weakens India.... He stands by China," the BJP leader said.

Bhatia claimed that the Congress had signed a "party-to-party MoU with China" during its rule.

Another BJP spokesperson, Prem Shukla, said the way Gandhi condemns India and praises China on foreign soil proves that he is nothing but an "anti-India pawn thriving on Chinese donations".

"The series of efforts that Rahul Gandhi has been making to weaken Indian democracy is the outcome of that MoU. If I am wrong, I dare Rahul Gandhi and ( Congress president) Mallikarjun Kharge to make the MoU public," he said.

Bhatia was replying to reporters' queries on Gandhi's remarks against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at an event in the US.

What Rahul Gandhi Said In Texas? 

"Love, respect and humility are missing from Indian politics, Gandhi said in his address to the Indian-American community. He also criticized the RSS for believing that India is "one idea".

The Congress leader made the remarks in Dallas on Sunday during his first interaction with the Indian diaspora on his current visit to the US.

During another interaction with students at the University of Texas in Dallas, Gandhi also underscored the need to focus on manufacturing in India, saying India, the US and other countries in the West are facing the problem of unemployment, while China is not as it is dominating global production.

The former Congress chief also said there is no shortage of skills in India and the country could compete with China if it starts aligning itself for production.
