Rahul Gandhi has now declared ‘open war’ against Indian state itself: BJP

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks that “we are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself” triggered a row on Wednesday with the BJP alleging that his statement was straight out of “George Soros’ playbook.”

Addressing party leaders after the inauguration of the Congress’ new headquarters at 9A, Kotla Road here, Gandhi said, “Do not think that we are fighting a fair fight. There is no fairness in this. If you believe that we are fighting a political organisation called the BJP, that we are fighting a political organisation called the RSS, you have not understood what is going on.

“The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself,” he said.
