Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 25 : Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pradeep Bhandari on Monday slammed Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, claiming that both are "Parivarvadi" who have nothing to do with Bihar.
Speaking to ANI, Bhandari took a dig at Tejashwi Yadav, stating that he has been kept as a "driver" by Rahul Gandhi.
He stated that the people of Bihar will not fall in their "anti-development and communal politics" agenda.
"Two parivarvadi, one Tejashwi Yadav whom Rahul Gandhi has made his driver and the other Rahul Gandhi who has nothing to do with Bihar because the people of Bihar are not falling into the trap of his anti-development and communal politics, so every other day he is calling the poor, backward and poor of Bihar fake," he said.
The BJP leader slammed the Congress MP, stating that he is against the democracy of the country. He said that Rahul Gandhi keeps on attacking constitutional institutions, including the Supreme Court and the Election Commission.
"Rahul Gandhi is against the democracy of the country, that is why he attacks some democratic institutions every season, because the people of the country see Rahul Gandhi moving ahead with "anti-India" activities. That is why he sometimes attacks the Supreme Court, Election Commission," Pradeep Bhandari told ANI.
Bhandari said that whenever Rahul Gandhi is supposed to verify his allegations, they always prove to be false.
"When it comes to verifying allegations, all his allegations have been proven to be false. Now he is calling the people of Bihar fake," he said.
Meanwhile, ahead of the Bihar assembly elections, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav are currently involved in the 16-day 'Voter Adhikaar Yatra', which aims to raise awareness about alleged irregularities in the voter list, which opposition leaders have termed a case of vote chori (vote theft).
Covering over 1,300 km across 20 districts, the yatra is scheduled to conclude in Patna on September 1.
Earlier on Sunday, Tejashwi Yadav said that the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' has become a "historic journey" and claimed it has exposed the "reality" of both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Election Commission before the people.
"A historic journey is underway; the reality of the BJP and the Election Commission has been exposed before the public," he told reporters.
