Rahul Gandhi’s statement during his visit to the United States has drawn BJP’s ire. During an address in the US, Gandhi said that “Muslims in India are facing the same scenario what Dalits were facing in 1980s". Lambasting Rahul Gandhi, BJP leaders didn’t mince their words to denounce his remarks on India, PM Modi. However, Congress leader Priyank Kharge supported Rahul Gandhi and echoed his claims.
