New Delhi: BJP on Saturday took a dig at Rahul
Gandhi for his reported comment that he is a Brahmin, saying it shows
that he and Congress have lost patience after failing to get the mandate
in the Uttar Pradesh elections.
“Now this is crossing all limits
that Rahul Gandhi has started informing what his caste is...that he is a
Brahmin. Congress has lost all patience after losing the mandate in
Uttar Pradesh elections,” BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
During
a stock-taking meeting of Congress on the UP poll debacle, Rahul had
reportedly rebutted claims from some party leaders that the party was
not giving due significance to Brahmins. “I am a Brahmin and general
secretary of the party,” Rahul reportedly said.
BJP used this opportunity to take potshots at the Congress general secretary.
“In
the UP elections, Congress had talked about religion when it promised
reservations on religious lines and in doing so it had played communal
politics,” Javadekar said.–PTI |
