New Delhi: Lashing out at Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his recent “match-fixing” claims regarding the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Union Minister and BJP National President J P Nadda on Saturday said that the Congress leader is in his desperation after losing a series of elections.
Instead of introspecting poll set back, Rahul cooks up bizarre conspiracies and cries rigging, Nadda said adding, "He is doing this because a defeat in Bihar is certain."
"Rahul Gandhi’s latest article is a blueprint for manufacturing fake narratives, owing to his sadness and desperation of losing election after election," Nadda posted on X.
"Despite being exposed time and again, he shamelessly keeps peddling lies, " the BJP leader said.
The BJP leader was reacting to Rahul's latest article in a news paper where the Congress leader alleged that the BJP used a multi-pronged strategy to manipulate the Maharashtra polls.
He alleged that it involved tampering with the process of appointing members to the Election Commission, inflating voter lists, and suppressing scrutiny of discrepancies.
The LoP warned that a similar strategy could be deployed in the forthcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
Dimissing Rahul claims, the Union Minister shared a news article, which detailed “lies” of the Congress leader about the Maharashtra Assembly polls outcome.
“Here’s how he does it, step by step — Step 1: Congress Party gets defeated election after election due to his antics. Step 2: Instead of introspecting, he cooks up bizarre conspiracies and cries rigging. Step 3: Ignore all facts and data. Step 4: Defames institutions with zero proof. Step 5: Hopes for headlines over facts,” Nadda posted, accusing Gandhi of misleading the public.
"He is doing this because a defeat in Bihar is certain. Democracy doesn’t need drama. It needs truth," Nadda accused Rahul.
