Netaji's grandnephew compares Nehru to Hitler: "Hitler never betrayed nation"
What's the story
In a series of tweets, Subhash Chandra Bose's grand nephew and BJP Bengal leader Chandra Kumar Bose compared India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to German dictator Adolf Hitler. Praising Hitler, Bose wrote that unlike Nehru, the Nazi leader "never betrayed his nation," while India's first PM only cared about "sitting on the throne." Bose's remarks have snowballed into a controversy on social media.

"Hitler's intention was to conquer Europe"
Well Hitler was a nationalist who's intention was to conquer Europe- but he never betrayed his nation. Nehru wanted to sit on the throne without fighting- but sucking up to the British. In short Nehru betrayed his nation .
