The BJP has criticized Rahul Gandhi for his recent "smash the patriarchy" remark, accusing him of hypocrisy and questioning whether he applies the same principle within his own Congress party. BJP leader Bansuri Swaraj addressed a press conference, referring to Gandhi's August 22 remarks at an event in Pune, where he spoke about challenging patriarchal attitudes and restrictions placed on women.
