Opinion/ Rahul Gandhi Declares War on Nation, Says Fight is Against Indian State, Not Just BJP and RSS

‘We Are Now Fighting the BJP , RSS And Indian State Itself’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday hit out at RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat saying that his remark that India got "true independence" after the Ram temple consecration amounts to treason. He went on to declare a war on not just the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangha (RSS) but on the nation as a whole.

While addressing at the inauguration of the new Congress headquarters, Rahul Gandhi said, “Do not think that we are fighting a fair fight. There is no fairness in this. If you believe that we are fighting a political organisation called the BJP or RSS, you have not understood what is going on. The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian State itself.”

Speaking at the inauguration of the new Congress headquarters here, Gandhi said every party worker is fighting this battle of ideologies under difficult circumstances where institutions have been captured by the BJP and the RSS and investigative agencies are being used against opposition leaders. The leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha also hit out at the Election Commission and alleged that there is a "serious problem" with the country's election system.
