BJP alleges rift between Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra

National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari claimed the Congress party is split into two factions between the two Gandhi siblings.

BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari alleged on Friday that a feud exists within the Gandhi family, claiming Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was deliberately sidelined.

According to ANI, Bhandari stated in a video that the Congress is vertically split between two power centres and that Rahul Gandhi's camp is suppressing Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to protect his political standing.

Bhandari claimed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was not allowed to speak at the Ramlila Maidan rally and was also prevented from speaking during a Mock Parliament session yesterday.

The BJP spokesperson alleged that the Rahul Gandhi camp is insecure about the Priyanka Gandhi Vadra camp and that the Congress is divided into two factions.

The allegations come as top Opposition leaders and supporters converged at Ramlila Maidan for the INDIA bloc's 'Chalo Delhi' protest march.

The march, which addressed concerns over the SIR exercise and alleged electoral roll irregularities, included leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge, Mamata Banerjee, and Akhilesh Yadav.
