In a blistering online broadside, BJP’s CR Kesavan has ripped into Congress veteran Vijay Wadettiwar for a statement that appeared to draw parallels between the Trump assassination attempt and potential dangers facing PM Modi. Posting the incriminating video on X, Kesavan labeled the remarks ‘deeply disturbing and reprehensible,’ warning of their implications for India’s leadership.
The controversy stems from Wadettiwar’s cryptic words: ‘What goes around comes around. From the highest office, he harassed nations worldwide, seeking dominance and enslaving the globe, while devastating our own country.’ BJP interprets this as a sinister nod to violence, reminiscent of Trump’s brush with death.
Kesavan revisited Wadettiwar’s history of controversies, including his past skepticism over 26/11 narratives involving Hemant Karkare’s sacrifice and Kasab’s guilt. ‘Congress routinely undermines our fight against terror,’ he charged, accusing the party of Pakistan appeasement.
Turning the spotlight on Congress bosses, Kesavan demanded accountability from Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. ‘Their silence emboldens such toxicity,’ he asserted. This episode fits into BJP’s broader narrative of Congress indulging in hate-mongering politics.
As the video goes viral, it has sparked nationwide outrage, with netizens and BJP supporters rallying against what they call ‘anti-national rhetoric.’ Political analysts predict this will fuel BJP’s campaign, portraying Congress as reckless. With stakes high, expect more fireworks in the coming days.
