New Delhi, 21^st May. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia on Saturday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remark that “BJP has spread kerosene all over the country”.

BJP’s spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said that the Gandhi family is tarnishing the image of the country.

Addressing a press conference in Delhi on Saturday, Bhatia said,”Rahul Gandhi recently spoke at a seminar of Cambridge University in London and tarnished the image of the country by going there. It has become a habit of Rahul Gandhi and the Gandhi family that they hate PM Modi ji and speak against Mother India,” Bhatia told.

Earlier, Congress’ Rahul Gandhi had said that India is not in a “good place” as he criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party -led government at the Centre and emphasized that the opposition needs to bring “people, communities, states, and religions” together.

Talking at the ‘Ideas for India’ conclave in London on Friday, Rahul Gandhi said “India is not in a good place. BJP has spread kerosene all over the country. You need one spark and we will be in big trouble. I think that it is also the responsibility of the opposition, the Congress, to bring people, communities, states, and religions together.”

“We need to cool this temperature down because if it doesn’t cool down, things can go wrong,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said at the event which was organized by non-profit think-tank Bridge India.

BJP’s spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia on Saturday termed Rahul Gandhi a desperate Congress and failed leader.

“Rahul Gandhi….whenever he goes to foreign soil, whether it is London, America, Singapore, his expressions show somewhere the condition of today’s Congress party. From 1984 till now, it has been on fire in the country. It is engaged in planting and disturbing harmony.”

“In London, Rahul Gandhi says that the BJP has sprinkled kerosene in the country. Rahul Gandhi ji, Congress party sprinkles kerosene oil. Remember the 1984 riots… the leaders of the Congress party got the massacre done, it was the Congress leaders who poured that kerosene,” BJP’s Bhatia said.

The 1984 anti-Sikh riots, also known as the 1984 Sikh Massacre, was a series of slaughters against Sikhs in India by anti-Sikh mobs (Congress members were allegedly involved) in response to the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
