Shimla: Congress today reacted sharply to new
Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) President Anurag Thakur`s
reported statements against Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of
lacking agenda.
"Congress will not tolerate Thakur`s repeated criticism
of AICC General Secretary Rahul Gandhi who is an icon of the
Nehru-Gandhi family which has made great sacrifices for the
nation, state party spokesman Kuldeep Rathore told reporters
here.
"Why Thakur, who has only three years standing in his
party, should have any objection if Gandhi was concerned about
the problem of common men and downtrodden," he asked.
Recently Thakur had said Rahul Gandhi, who travels all
over the country to mobilise the youth, "is not a challenge to
him".
Rathore alleged that Thakur had no agenda except to
criticise Gandhi and demanded public apology from the state
BJP leadership for his "irresponsible" behaviour.
