Andhra Congress Protests Ravneet Singh's 'No. 1 Terrorist' Jibe At Rahul, Says 'LoP Exposing BJP Abroad Too'

The protest by Andhra Congress was in response to remarks made by Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, who lashed out at Rahul Gandhi for the latter's comments made during his visit to the USA.

Andhra Pradesh Congress President YS Sharmila led a protest in Vijayawada on Wednesday alongside party workers against Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu and other BJP leaders following their controversial remarks about Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha and a Congress MP.

Addressing the protest, Y.S. Sharmila criticised the BJP for its statements against Rahul Gandhi. She stated, "Today, the Andhra Pradesh Congress party protested in front of Mahatma Gandhi's statue against the comments made against opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. Isn't the BJP scared of Rahul Gandhi today? Because he is exposing the BJP not only in our country but also abroad."

"They are calling Rahul Gandhi a terrorist. But who are the real terrorists of this country? BJP is a party that doesn't even respect the Constitution of India. The BJP is scared that Rahul Gandhi is winning the hearts of the people of India," she said.

The protest was in response to remarks made by Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu, who had lashed out at Rahul Gandhi for comments made during his visit to the USA.

Bittu questioned Rahul Gandhi's patriotism, alleging he is not truly an Indian due to his frequent time spent abroad. Bittu went as far as to label Rahul Gandhi as the "country's number 1 terrorist," stating, "The people who are most wanted, separatists, and experts in making bombs, guns, and shells, have appreciated what Rahul Gandhi has said. The enemies of the country who try to blow up planes, trains, and roads, are in support of Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi is the country's number 1 terrorist. The biggest enemy of the country whom the agencies should catch is Rahul Gandhi today."
