Rahul Gandhi exploited Manmohan Singh’s death for his expedient politics: BJP
The HinduLaunching a scathing attack on the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday alleged that Rahul Gandhi “exploited” former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s death for his “expedient politics” and flew to Vietnam to ring in the New Year while the country is mourning his demise. The Congress hit back and asked when will the “Sanghis stop this ‘take diversion’ politics”. “While the country is mourning Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh’s demise, Rahul Gandhi has flown to Vietnam to ring in the new year,” BJP's IT cell head Amit Malviya said in a post on X. Gandhi politicised and exploited Dr. Singh’s death for his expedient politics but his contempt for him is unmissable,” he charged. Reacting sharply, Congress leader Manickam Tagore wrote in a post on X, “When will the Sanghis stop this ‘take diversion’ politics?” He alleged that the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi denied Dr. Singh a place for cremation on the Yamuna banks and his Ministers cornered his family was “shameful”.
