KC Venugopal Thanks Tamil Nadu CM Stalin for Supporting Rahul Gandhi Against BJP’s Threats
New Delhi, India – KC Venugopal, the General Secretary in-charge of Organisation for Congress, expressed his gratitude to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin for condemning the controversial comments made against Rahul Gandhi. Venugopal thanked Stalin for denouncing the ‘disgusting attacks’ on Rahul Gandhi and the ‘horrible’ politics of BJP.
In a post on X, CM Stalin shared his shock over a BJP leader’s suggestion that Rahul Gandhi might face the same fate as his grandmother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Stalin also mentioned a Shinde Sena MLA’s bounty for cutting Rahul’s tongue and other intimidating threats. He praised Rahul Gandhi and urged the Union government to ensure his protection.
Stalin stated, ‘My brother Rahul Gandhi’s charisma and growing public support have clearly unsettled many, leading to such vile acts of intimidation. The Union government must act swiftly to ensure protection for the Leader of the Opposition and reaffirm that intimidation and violence have no place in our democracy.’
Earlier, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah also addressed the comments made by the BJP leader during a press conference. He highlighted that Minister of State Ravneet Bittu referred to Rahul Gandhi as a terrorist, inciting BJP workers. Siddaramaiah also mentioned that BJP ally and Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad offered Rs 11 lakh to anyone who cuts off Rahul Gandhi’s tongue, posing a direct threat to his life.
Siddaramaiah added, ‘Rahul Gandhi is not concerned about such false allegations and threats. The BJP is struggling to accept his popularity. He comes from a patriotic family–his grandmother, Indira Gandhi, was assassinated, and his father also died in a bomb blast.’
Minister of State for Railways, Ravneet Singh Bittu, had previously called Rahul Gandhi the ‘number one terrorist of the country’ during a public statement on September 15. In response to these threats, Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Ajay Maken filed a complaint at a police station in the national capital against BJP leaders.
