Rahul raising imaginary issue to escape accountability in Wayanad tragedy: BJP

The BJP took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi for his claim that an ED raid is being planned against him, saying he is creating a new narrative to distract people from asking about his accountability as the MP from Wayanad following the devastating landslide tragedy there.

He might have been told that people are asking questions about his accountability so he has sought to create a new narrative, BJP leader and former Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar told reporters.

Gandhi has raised an imaginary issue to avoid questions related to Wayanad, he said, adding that local MP is the last person to reach there. People are asking about his accountability, he claimed.

Union minister and BJP ally Lalan Singh was sharp in his take on the Leader of Opposition’s claim, saying Gandhi might have done something which he believes might result in such an action

“If someone does no wrong, then why will anything happen,” he told reporters.
