YS Sharmila, Congress’ AP Chief, criticized the BJP for burning effigies of Rahul Gandhi, attributing to him a journey of thousands of kilometers advocating unity, brotherhood, love, and peace across the nation. She condemned this act as a reflection of BJP’s reprehensible culture. Sharmila warned BJP leaders, stating that falsehoods spoken repeatedly in Parliament turn it into a “factory of lies,” accusing them of eroding cultural values and judgment. She criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing his government of authoritarianism in Parliament.
“Why demean Rahul Gandhi, known for his heroic spirit, eloquence, and selfless dedication to the nation? The nation sees through your divisive politics, deceitful schemes, and attempts to poison minds,” Sharmila asserted. She questioned the BJP’s governance, particularly in Manipur, suggesting it fails to serve the people. “Is this your commitment to the country and its Constitution?” Sharmila asked, accusing Modi of responsibility not only for effigy burning but also for incidents in Godhra and Manipur.
