Rajasthan Congress Government Crisis

SEHORE: Amid the crisis in the Congress government in neighbouring Rajasthan, senior BJP leader and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Uma Bharti on Monday accused Rahul Gandhi of not allowing young leaders to flourish in his party due to envy.

She said Gandhi creates rifts between Congress leaders and then blames the BJP when he is unable to control the resultant internal strife.

“The envy of Rahul Gandhi is causing the destruction of the Congress. Rahul Gandhi does not allow young leaders to flourish. He creates an environment which creates rifts among party leaders, which he is then unable to control. And then he blames us for the crisis,” Bharti said.
