BJP leaders said the journalist was injured and hospitalized after Rahul Gandhi allegedly shoved her while she covered the protest.
- On Tuesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party accused Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi of manhandling a pregnant journalist while she covered an opposition protest on Monday, claiming she was injured and hospitalized.
- BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari alleged Gandhi's conduct revealed hatred, noting he also shoved Chief Minister Shivakumar and grabbed the journalist by the arm and elbow, throwing her to the ground.

- After visiting the journalist at the hospital, BJP MLA Umang Bajaj condemned the alleged assault, stating that public representatives should respond to journalists' questions rather than allegedly manhandling them.
