Lashing out at the BharatiyaJanata Party, he said, “BJP’s conspiratorial hounding of Shri Gandhi has been thoroughly exposed. Time for them to stop their malicious targeting of Opposition leaders”.

We will continue to highlight and highlight your failures as a government and as a party. We will uphold our constitutional ideals and keep faith in our institutions which you want to destroy completely”.
