Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting, Sports and Youth Affairs Anurag Singh Thakur accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and MIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi of being from the “Aurangzeb school of thought with democracy on their lips but Shariah in their hearts”.
“Is Rahul Gandhi the ‘B’ team of Owaisi or Owaisi the ‘B’ team of Rahul Gandhi? Is Rahul Gandhi a peddler of Owaisi’s communal agenda? Just like Mr. Gandhi was defeated by a woman in Amethi, Mr. Owaisi will be defeated by our party candidate, Madhavi Latha, this time. Mr. Owaisi has been missing in action ever since she entered the fray. The time to cut the kite’s string has come,” he said.
Unleashing a no-holds-barred rhetoric against the Congress at a press conference at the BJP office on Wednesday, Mr. Thakur accused Mr. Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi of being silent about their party councillor’s demand for a CBI probe into the murder of his daughter due to ‘Love Jihad’ in Karnataka.
