BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari criticized the relationship between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD politician Tejashwi Yadav during remarks made in North 24 Parganas district. Bhandari pointed out that Tejashwi publicly endorsed Gandhi as the INDIA alliance prime ministerial candidate while Gandhi failed to reciprocate by supporting Tejashwi for Bihar chief minister. The spokesperson characterized this dynamic as evidence of mutual distrust and political opportunism between the two parties. He suggested Gandhi treated Tejashwi merely as a subordinate figure rather than an equal partner. Bhandari argued that corruption scandals bind these leaders together despite their apparent lack of genuine cooperation.
The BJP representative questioned whether other INDIA bloc members like Trinamool Congress, Sharad Pawar, and Arvind Kejriwal would accept Gandhi as their prime ministerial choice. Bhandari referenced the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill as designed to prevent governance from prison while alleging both leaders face serious legal accusations. He dismissed Gandhi's prime ministerial prospects by citing national security concerns and predicted continued NDA dominance under Prime Minister Modi through 2029. The spokesperson claimed Bihar voters prefer development policies over what he termed corrupt political alliances.
