'Kharge insulted at Priyanka's nomination filing...': BJP
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday released a video showing Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge looking through the door of the room where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was submitting her nomination papers for Wayanad. BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar criticized the Congress party, alleging a lack of respect towards Kharge in the incident.
BJP leader questions Congress's treatment of Kharge
Chandrasekhar wrote on his X account, "Where were you @kharge Saheb? When first family Priyanka Vadra ji was filing her nomination as Cong candidate for #Wayanad Kept outside - bcoz hes not family." He went on to comment on how self-respect and dignity was sacrificed at the hands of Sonia family. The BJP India handle also posted the 30-second video, implying Kharge's exclusion during Gandhi's nomination filing is how Rahul Gandhi might treat Dalit community.
