New Delhi Launching an acerbic attack on the Congress, the BJP on Wednesday said a rejected and ejected dynasty is not equal to the entire Opposition and one dynasty’s interests are not India’s interests.

”A rejected and ejected dynasty is NOT equal to the entire Opposition. One dynasty’s interests are not India’s interests,” said party president J P Nadda on Wednesday.

He said today, the nation is united and supportive of country’s armed forces.

He said, ”This is the time for unity and solidarity. Relaunch of ‘the scion’ for the nth time can wait.”

Mr Nadda said it is the Opposition’s right to ask questions, adding that ”the all- party meeting saw healthy deliberations, with several Opposition leaders giving their valuable inputs. They also fully supported the Centre in determining the way ahead.”

He asked, ”One family was an exception. Any guesses who?”

The BJP leader said One ‘royal’ dynasty and their ‘loyal’ courtiers have grand delusions of the Opposition being about one dynasty.

”A dynast throws tantrums and his courtiers peddle that fake narrative. Latest one relates to the the Opposition asking questions to the Government,” he added.

Lashing out at the Gandhis, who have been consistently attacking the BJP government on its handling of border stand-off with China and the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr Nadda pointed out, ”Due to the misadventures of one dynasty: We lost thousands of square kilometers of our land. The Siachen glacier was almost gone. And much more.”

No wonder India has rejected them, he added.

A day before, the BJP has lashed out at the Congress, saying India has not surrendered an inch of its land but it is a matter of grief that the principal opposition party has surrendered its shame.

BJP’s national spokesperson Sambit Patra hit out at the Congress party on Tuesday for repeatedly ‘politicizing’ the ‘misfortunes’ falling upon India.

He has said whenever the country faces a problem, Congress tries to make it ‘a launchpad for the falling career of Rahul Gandhi’.

Citing the MoU signed in 2008 by Mr Rahul Gandhi, then Congress general secretary, and Xi Jinping, a senior functionary of Communist Party of China (CPC) and the current President of China, to facilitate a high-level exchange the two parties to consult each other over important regional and international issues, Mr Nadda has alleged that the Congress leader was trying to divide the nation and demoralise armed forces.

”First, Congress signs MoU with Chinese Communist Party. Then, Congress surrenders land to China. During Doklam issue, Rahul Gandhi secretly goes to the Chinese embassy,” Mr Nadda has tweeted and added that during crucial situations, Mr Gandhi was trying to divide the nation and demoralise armed forces. ”Were these Effects of the MoU?” he has asked.

On Monday also, Mr Nadda in his tweet addressed to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the Congress has said, ”Please stop insulting our forces repeatedly, questioning their valour. You did this post the airstrikes and surgical strikes. Please understand the true meaning of national unity, especially in such times. It’s never too late to improve.”

The Congress said it is incumbent upon the government to be receptive of expressed concerns and respond with sincerity to the questions raised by the opposition. The CWC is obliged to ask questions from the Central Government.

”The BJP’s so-called diplomacy and foreign policy has left India isolated in its own neighbourhood. Our oldest friends have now turned foe & the fault lies solely with our hugplomatic PM,” the principal opposition party said.

Attacking the NDA government at the Centre on the India-China border standoff in Ladakh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has said that the government has ”gravely mishandled the situation”.

As many as 20 Indian soldiers, including a colonel, were killed in the violent face-off with Chinese troops at the Galwan valley in Eastern Ladakh last week.
