New Delhi: The Congress on Friday refuted BJP chief JP Nadda's allegation that Rahul Gandhi compared OBC communities to thieves and accused the ruling party of defending the likes of fugitives Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi, and indulging in "caste politics".
Amid a political fight between the BJP and Congress following Gandhi's conviction in a defamation case over the "Modi surname" remarks, Nadda alleged that "lies, personal slander and negative politics is integral" to his politics.
"By comparing OBC communities to thieves, Rahul Gandhi has shown a pathetic and casteist mindset." Nadda said. (with PTI inputs)
