BJP leader slams Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Manusmriti, files complaint
The BJP leader alleged that Rahul Gandhi picked out a single chapter and twisted the words to malign the ancient text.
On August 27, 2026, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) used a website tasked with verifying statements made by Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, during his "Chhatron Ki Goonj" campaign to criticize the politician. BJP MP and the party’s national media head, Anil Baluni, stated that despite Mr. Gandhi's lies, each falsehood would be countered with facts from the "Jhooth Ki Goonj" website.
The website was alleged to be exposing the reality behind Mr. Gandhi's claims, as he continued to spread falsehoods fueled by frustration and envy towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi. BJP Rajya Sabha member and spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi echoed similar sentiments, asserting that the truth would ultimately prevail regardless of the volume of Rahul Gandhi's propagations.
The website's launch was attributed to the irritation and anger of the country's youth over the series of falsehoods spread by Mr. Gandhi, according to BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari.
