'Rahul Gandhi's Family Sacrificed for India, BJP Leaders Should Respect Their Legacy,' Says Kisan Congress Leader Chaitanya Reddy

New Delhi, 25 September, 2024: In response to the recent barrage of criticism from BJP leaders against Rahul Gandhi, S. Krishna Chaitanya Reddy, the National Joint Coordinator of Kisan Congress, has come forward to defend the Gandhi family's legacy and their unwavering commitment to the nation.

"It is shameful to see BJP leaders barking at Rahul Gandhi, a member of a family that has sacrificed so much for this country," said Chaitanya Reddy. "The Gandhi family, particularly Rahul's father, the late Rajiv Gandhi, has a long history of humanitarian service and selfless dedication to the betterment of India."

Chaitanya Reddy went on to highlight the exemplary contributions of Rahul Gandhi's father, Rajiv Gandhi, who served as the Prime Minister of India from 1984 to 1989. "Rajiv Gandhi was a visionary leader who played a crucial role in the country's technological and economic advancement. He was also a great humanitarian who extended a helping hand to those in need, including the BJP veteran, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, when he required medical assistance."

Chaitany Reddy's quote also took a swipe at the current Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, stating that he "is nowhere equal to the leaders of the past, such as Rajiv Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee." Chaitanya Reddy further accused Modi of "spreading violence for religious vote bank," while asserting that Rahul Gandhi "spreads love and nation progress."

Chaitanya Reddy concluded by emphasizing that the real BJP leaders, who have been with the party for years, will stand with Rahul Gandhi, as they "know how Advani ji was tactfully kept away" from the party's leadership.
