US EditionBJP Lodges Complaint with EC Against Rahul Gandhi over ‘Dance’ Remarks on PM Modi: ‘Highly Derogatory, Indecent’
The BJP alleges Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Chhath Puja and PM Modi defame religious sentiments and constitute corrupt electoral practices, Union Ministers said.
- Earlier this year, the Bharatiya Janata Party accused Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader, of maligning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's image for political gain, calling it a `corrupt electoral practice`, while Union Minister Annapurna Devi said Gandhi `hurt religious sentiments` by allegedly mocking Chhath Puja.
- Gandhi's comment about a Yamuna dip prompted Pawan Khera to say, `It is an irony that the Prime Minister, who uses terms like 'mujra' while targeting his opponents, has a problem with the word 'dance',` referencing Modi's May 25 remark.
- Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju slammed Rahul Gandhi's language as unacceptable at the National e-Vidhan Application third national conference and warned it would cost the Congress party electorally, while critics said Gandhi embarrassed the party.
- The exchange prompted reciprocal accusations, with Annapurna Devi saying women observing the 36‑hour nirjala fast are aggrieved by Gandhi's remarks, signaling potential religious backlash.
- The dispute positions both Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress party ahead of elections, with BJP framing Gandhi's remarks as a `corrupt electoral practice` and both sides trading tough rhetoric.
