Terming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as ‘graphics nationalists’ and ‘graphic patriots’, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president T. Jayaprakash Reddy said it is always the ‘duplicates’ who blow their own trumpet while the ‘originals’ do their work silently.
Addressing a press conference here, he dismissed the BJP’s continuous attack on Rahul Gandhi’s family, questioning their patriotism, and said Mr. Gandhi doesn’t need to prove his patriotism day in and day out. “He has a pedigree of patriotism, starting from his great great grandfather Motilal Nehru who sacrificed his property for the nation’s cause,” he said.
On the other hand, the BJP leaders or their ideologues who were never part of India’s independence movement are claiming themselves to be the real patriots, he said, adding that the country can differentiate between the ‘graphics patriots’ and true patriots like Rahul Gandhi.
