Rahul Gandhi alleges 'Some Congress leaders working for BJP'
Babushahi Bureau
New Delhi, March 8, 2025: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made a big claim on Saturday, accusing some party leaders of working for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said 30-40 Congress leaders can be sacked if required.
Rahul Gandhi made the remarks during the second day of his Gujarat visit, where he said there was a need to filter out leaders and workers from his party’s Gujarat unit who were secretly working for the BJP, warning of strict action going as far as removals.
Gandhi’s visit focuses on the 2027 Gujarat Assembly elections, and he warned that he could sack up to 40 leaders if needed to clean the party in the BJP-ruled state, where Congress has been out of power for decades.
“There are two types of people in the Gujarat Congress leadership and among workers. Those who are honest with people, fight for them, respect them and have the ideology of the Congress in their heart. And the others who are cut off from the people sit far away, do not respect them, and half of whom are with the BJP," the Congress leader said while addressing party workers.
