On Rahul Gandhi's 'Two Indias' Dig At PM Modi Over Pune Porsche Accident, BJP Says 'Ask Your Friends To...'

The BJP has hit back at Rahul Gandhi over his 'two Indias' comment against PM Modi over the Pune Porsche accident case. BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi said that the judiciary is not under any leader.

The BJP has slammed Rahul Gandhi for his 'two Indias' claim against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the progress in the Pune Porsche accident case, saying that the judicial system doesn't come under the government. BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi on Wednesday said the Pune Porsche accident case was being dealt with sensitivity by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. "The Deputy CM has assured of proper investigation and adherence to legal procedure in the case... Rahul Gandhi's comments show his mentality. Does the judiciary come under the leader of the nation," Sudhanshu Trivedi asked.

Sudhanshu Trivedi took potshots at Rahul Gandhi over the imposition of the Emergency from 1975-77 by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. "Your grandmother [Indira] said that the judiciary should be 'committed' [to the government]. The lawyer told the court that we can only watch as all human rights had been suspended," he said. 

Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday released a video, saying: "When the Prime Minister was asked that two Indias were being made — of the rich and the billionaires. He [Modi] replies whether he should make everyone poor." He was referring to an interview of PM Modi to a news channel.

Rahul Gandhi's video on Wednesday was about the Pune Porsche accident. He slammed the Juvenile Justice Board's purported decision to let go of the accused by just asking him to write an essay and assist the traffic police for 15 days after he ran over two persons in his Porsche. Rahul Gandhi said justice should be equal for the rich and poor. "If a bus or truck driver, Ola, Uber or auto driver mistakenly runs over someone, they get a jail term for 10 years and the keys to their vehicles are thrown out. But a 16-17-year-old boy from a rich family rides a Porche under the influence of alcohol and mows down two people, he is told to write an essay," Rahul Gandhi said in the video.

Reacting to this, Sudhanshu Trivedi said: "If it's about the judicial system being costly, you have sent the costliest advocates to Parliament who charge lakhs. You should ask your friends to help make the system cheaper..."
