BJP's response came in the wake of Gandhi telling the Supreme Court yesterday that he never blamed RSS the institution for Mahatma Gandhi's killing but persons associated with it and then asserting today that he stood by every single word and will fight its hateful and divisive agenda.
The party also accused Gandhi of speaking lies to target RSS as it asked him why the UPA government did not take any action against the Hindutva organiation during its 10 years in power.
"The truth is that RSS has only grown in strength despite attempts by likes of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to target it. It just shows Rahul Gandhi's ideological bankruptcy and we do not take him seriously," BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
Party spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao said, "Gandhi's "face saving verbal gymnastics after a surrender in Court on RSS won't help. False bravado and bluster no substitutes to truth."
