Mumbai, 16 September 2024

Known for his notorious statements and unruly behaviour, Buldhana MLA Sanjay Gaikwad has once again shown his true colours by announcing a reward of Rs 11 lakh for anyone who cuts off the tongue of the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi. Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee President Nana Patole has given a stern warning that the government should take serious note of this statement by this criminal-minded MLA, and a case must be filed against him. Patole further said that and he should be reined in or else Congress workers know how to deal such goons.

Speaking on the matter, Congress state president Nana Patole said that seeing the increasing popularity of Rahul Gandhi, the ground is slipping beneath the feet of the BJP and its allies. As a result, the frustrated and desperate ruling party is twisting Rahul Gandhi’s statements and running a smear campaign against him. Rahul Gandhi never said that he would end reservations. On the contrary, he stated that the 50% limit on reservations should be removed to address the pending issues of communities seeking reservations. However, the BJP and their agents are continuously spreading rumours and trying to create a fake narrative. BJP’s goons and their allies are even going to the extent of issuing death threats. The government is taking no action against these thugs, leaving the public to wonder whether the rule of law prevails in the country or BJP’s hooligans.

Do people like Sanjay Gaikwad even know what Rahul Gandhi said in America? Rahul Gandhi is not afraid of Modi and Shah, so he certainly won’t be intimidated by the threats of local criminals like Sanjay Gaikwad. Millions of Congress workers across Maharashtra and the entire country, including us, are ready to stand as a shield to protect him. Don’t even think about trying to harm him in any way, no one can even touch his hair, warned the Congress state president.
