New Delhi: BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra on Monday called Congress leader Rahul Gandhi a failed politician and said that Gandhi’s allegations about BJP’s link with Facebook and WhatsApp are “frustrated utterances”.
“The allegations are not only unfounded, but this is a typical characteristic feature of Congress and Rahul Gandhi. He is a failed leader and these are frustrated utterances of his. According to Rahul, only Gandhi-Vadra family is the most pious and sacrosanct family, rest all institutions are no institutions at all, they’re all brought and sold and do not exist,” Patra said.
“It is the same Congress which said that EVMs were hacked, it also pointed fingers at the Election Commission and the same Congress which went for impeachment because the Supreme Court did not deliver a judgement in accordance to its whims and fantasies,” he added.
Rahul Gandhi had shared an article published in Wall Street Journal stating that Facebook executive did not approve the move to ban controversial politicians of the ruling BJP and a Facebook executive had said punishing violations by BJP workers “would damage the company’s business prospects in the country”.
