New Delhi, Dec 15 (NationPress) In a strong rebuttal, BJP's national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari addressed the comments made by Aaditya Thackeray, a leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), on Sunday. Thackeray urged the BJP and Congress to cease the use of historical figures such as Veer Savarkar and Jawaharlal Nehru for political gain.
Bhandari proposed that if Thackeray genuinely stands by this viewpoint, he and his party should promptly dissolve their partnership with Congress.
Thackeray stated, "The Congress and BJP should stop blaming Jawaharlal Nehru or Vinayak Damodar Savarkar for their politics and focus on the future instead."
In reaction to Thackeray's remarks, Bhandari informed IANS, "If Aaditya Thackeray is dispensing such counsel to Congress, then they should formally end their alliance with Rahul Gandhi. He cannot profess to offer such advice while still collaborating with Rahul Gandhi for his own political aspirations -- the same Rahul Gandhi who disparages Veer Savarkar in Maharashtra, who disregards the nation's heritage, and who seeks to compromise India's sovereignty at the behest of foreign entities like George Soros."
Bhandari went on to say, "Aaditya Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray have forsaken the Hindu community, and the people of Maharashtra have made their sentiments clear. The electoral outcomes are a testament to this. The poor performance of Uddhav's faction is a direct consequence of their disconnection from the populace. Merely making statements will not resolve anything. If they genuinely oppose Rahul Gandhi, they should sever their ties with Congress without delay."
Thackeray also responded to allegations connecting Sonia Gandhi and George Soros, while Bhandari emphasized that the Congress party is under the influence of foreign powers.
He alleged, "It is widely recognized that from Italy to the network of George Soros, if anyone is controlling Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi, it is foreign powers. Sonia Gandhi is the chairperson of the FDL-AP Foundation, which has ties to George Soros, a figure aiming to instigate an economic crisis in India and undermine its sovereignty."
Bhandari further asserted that the connections between Soros and members of the Gandhi family, including Rahul Gandhi's relative Noori Nehru, are too substantial to overlook.
"This is not mere coincidence. It indicates an anti-national agenda," he concluded.
