BJP Chief J.P. Nadda Criticizes Congress Leaders as ‘Fake Patriots’ at Rajkot Event

Rajkot, August 10, 2024: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President and Union Minister J.P. Nadda launched a scathing critique of the Congress party during his address at the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ event in Rajkot, Gujarat, on Saturday. Nadda accused Congress leaders of being “fake patriots” and focused his ire on their perceived neglect of key historical figures and contributions to India’s unity.

Addressing a gathering before flagging off the BJP’s Tiranga Yatra, Nadda targeted Rahul Gandhi, though he did not name him directly. “These people with narrow thinking and small minds,” Nadda said, referring to the Congress party, are preoccupied with their ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ while overlooking the significant role of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in uniting India.

Nadda expressed dismay that no Congress leader had visited the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Gujarat, dedicated to Sardar Patel. “I have to say with sadness that till date, not a single Congress leader has gone to Kevadia to offer flowers at the Statue of Unity,” he stated, highlighting what he sees as a lack of respect for Patel’s contributions.

He further criticized Congress leaders for focusing on a single family, presumably the Gandhi family, while neglecting the contributions of other freedom fighters like Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. “Through your glasses, you see only one family,” Nadda said. “You forget the contributions of countless others who sacrificed their lives to free India from British rule.”

Nadda also praised Gujarat for its role in India’s freedom struggle, emphasizing the achievements of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel. He commended Patel’s efforts in integrating 562 princely states into India, calling it a monumental task accomplished within two years.

Union Minister of Jalshakti C.R. Paatil and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel were present at the event, where Nadda urged the youth to pledge their commitment to building a developed India by 2047, in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision. “When we participate in the Tiranga Yatra, we must pledge to advance our Gujarat and our country, striving to make it a developed nation,” he urged.

Highlighting the progress made under Modi’s leadership, Nadda spoke of India’s strides toward self-reliance, including becoming the world’s second-largest steel producer and the third-largest automobile hub. He noted that India now produces 97% of its mobile phones domestically and has transitioned from importing to exporting bulletproof jackets.

“India is moving towards self-reliance and achieving new heights under the leadership of PM Modi,” Nadda declared. He emphasized that it is the duty of every Indian to contribute to the vision of a developed India by 2047, using the freedom and opportunities afforded by the country’s progress.

As the Tiranga Yatra commences, Nadda’s remarks reflect a broader political narrative, positioning the BJP as a champion of national unity and development, while criticizing the opposition for its perceived shortcomings.
