The BJP on Wednesday launched a sharp counter-attack on the Congress, rolling out what its leaders termed the “Nehru-Gandhi family’s compromise story” to rebut the Opposition’s “PM compromised” campaign over the India-US trade deal. The party also ran a campaign on X.ADVERTISEMENTReading from a prepared statement in Patna, Nabin alleged that from India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to the present Lok Sabha Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, the family represented a “compromised legacy”. This reflects the thinking of the Congress’s political legacy, which has always compromised with the nation by prioritising personal interests,” Nabin said. The BJP’s attack followed a “shirtless” protest by Youth Congress workers at the AI summit in Delhi last week and Rahul’s repeated criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the India-US trade agreement. Addressing a farmers’ rally in Bhopal on Tuesday, Rahul accused Modi of finalising the trade deal under pressure and challenged him to withdraw what he termed an “unfair” pact.
