BJP says 'no caste angle' in Haldwani incident, accuses Rahul Gandhi of playing divisive politics
The attack came after Rahul Gandhi targeted the party and the RSS, alleging that a “purification” ceremony was organised at a rally venue addressed by Mallikarjun Kharge in Haldwani
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) dismissed allegations made by Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi regarding a “purification” ceremony held at a rally venue in Haldwani, Uttarakhand. The BJP emphasized that there is no caste angle to the incident, instead stating that two Scheduled Caste eyewitnesses have provided testimonies that contradict Gandhi’s narrative.
Gandhi had earlier accused the BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of organizing such a ceremony. Additionally, he had sought a First Information Report (FIR) over the matter.
