Congress Criticises BJP Over Rahul Gandhi As ‘Ravan’ Poster

New Delhi [India] : Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Friday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over a graphic prominently featuring party leader Rahul Gandhi with a bearded visage and seven heads, reminiscent of Ravan saying that these kinds of promotional things from a national party are “unfortunate and condemnable”.

On Thursday, BJP shared a graphic portraying Congress MP Rahul Gandhi as the mythical character Ravan.

“They are provoking those kinds of people to do violence against Rahul Gandhi. He is a leader who has lost his father and grandmother to violence. These kinds of promotional things from a national party are unfortunate and condemnable,” Manickam Tagore said.

He further demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and JP Nadda.

“PM Modi and JP Nadda should answer it. They should apologise for it. These kinds of violent behaviour towards Opposition leaders is unacceptable,” he added.
Meanwhile, Congress leader PL Punia said that it is unfortunate that such statements are made.

“As the elections will come near, their (BJP’s) statements would change… It is unfortunate that such statements are made… This is BJP’s nervousness that they are making such statements… This is condemnable… They are trying to change the narrative… BJP is scared that they would have to leave because of the INDIA Alliance,” PL Punia said.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut also reacted over BJP’s “New Age Ravan” tweet for Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and said that BJP, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have started fearing Rahul Gandhi.

“BJP, Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have started fearing Rahul Gandhi. This ensures your (BJP) defeat in the 2024 elections. The battle between Ram and Ravan was fought in this country. Ravan is a perversion that resides within BJP the most,” Sanjay Raut said.

PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti said that the BJP are frustrated with the INDIA alliance. They know their all tactics including Hindu-Muslim have failed.

“They are frustrated with the INDIA alliance. They know their all tactics including Hindu-Muslim have failed…They talk about ‘Santana Dharma’. Does ‘Santana Dharma’ teach you to you call your opponent ‘Ravan’. They meet Muslim leaders and visit Mosques abroad but in this country they lynch Muslims…They have created Godse army in the country,” Mufti said.

The poster also linked the Congress leader to George Soros, a billionaire investor who has been accused of being involved in anti-India activities.

The BJP shared the graphic on their official handle of the social media platform ‘X, and captioned it, “India is in Danger. He is Evil. Anti Dharma. Anti Ram. His aim is to destroy Bharat.”

The graphic ignited a debate on social media, with supporters and critics expressing various opinions about its symbolism and intent.
