In their memorandum to the President of India, BJP leaders of Cachar, wrote that, “After the decision of the Supreme Court, it is very much clear that the Congress party and its president, Rahul Gandhi, has been using this issue only for the sake of their own narrow political benefits. This is a very serious matter that an elected representative of the country, who is also a president of a national political party, is misleading the people on the basis of inaccurate facts and blatant lies,” signed, by Cachar district BJP president, Kaushik Rai.
Talking to Northeast Now, following the submission of the memorandum, former Union Minister, Kabindra Purkayastha, said, “Even after giving a clean chit by the Supreme Court on the agreement of the Rafale fighter jets, with that of India, by the Modi led government, Rahul Gandhi’s persistent sledging and use of foul languages against the Prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, is very shameful and condemnable.”
Kabindra Purkayastha added, “In his remarks across various rallies of the country, Rahul Gandhi is trying to mislead people by saying that PM Modi has helped with Rs 30,000 crores by giving it to Anil Ambani. His remarks which are full of blatant lies and inaccurate inputs, has come out in the open now and the common people would make their best judgment on this issue.”
