JP Nadda’s ‘failed product’ barb at Rahul Gandhi in letter to Mallikarjun Kharge

BJP national president JP Nadda on Thursday slammed Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge just two days after the latter wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising concerns over “extremely objectionable, violent and rude” remarks made by NDA leaders against Rahul Gandhi.
“You have written a letter to the Prime Minister in an attempt to polish your failed product, which has been repeatedly rejected by the public, (but) once again put it on the market due to political compulsion,” Nadda said in a letter to Kharge.
He also said that after reading Kharge’s letter, “I felt the things said by you are far from reality and the truth”.
“It seems that you have either forgotten the deeds of your leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, or have deliberately ignored them. So, I felt that it is important to bring those things to your notice in detail,” the BJP chief added.
He also questioned Kharge on why he was trying to justify “the person whose history is of abusing the entire OBC community, including the Prime Minister”.
“I understand that it is your compulsion to defend and glorify your fallen product every day, but at least being the Congress president, you should have introspected.”
Further intensifying his attacks, the BJP chief said, “It is very sad that the oldest political party of the country has now become a ‘copy and paste’ party under the pressure of its famous ‘yuvraaj’ (prince).”

On Tuesday, Kharge, in an apparent reference to the remarks by Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu and Uttar Pradesh Minister Raghuraj Singh, told the Prime Minister that “the violent language used by the leaders of the BJP and your allies is harmful for the future”.
“The world is shocked that the Minister of State for Railways in the Central government, a minister from BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh, is calling the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha ‘number one terrorist’.”
Kharge also mentioned Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad’s announcement of a Rs 11 lakh reward to anyone who will “chop off the tongue” of Rahul Gandhi over his statements on reservation during his recent trip to the US.
“Due to such hate-mongering forces, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi had to sacrifice their lives. This political behaviour of the ruling party is an example of rudeness in democratic history,” Kharge said.
“I request and expect you to please impose discipline and decorum on your leaders. Instruct them to behave properly. Strict legal action should be taken for such statements so that Indian politics can be prevented from degenerating. Nothing untoward happens.”
