Amid the ongoing protest and opposition’s unity in support of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has claimed that he believes it is his “birthright” to rule the country because he was born into a particular family.

BJP slams Rahul Gandhi

While slamming the Congress leader, whose disqualification from Lok Sabha has become a rallying point for the opposition, the BJP stated that there are several instances of “attack” on institutions during the Congress rule to counterattack rival parties over their similar charges.

Speaking to the media, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the former Congress president thinks all institutions are beneath him and that is why he is upset with the court order convicting him for “insulting” the Other Backward Classes and his subsequent disqualification.

‘Rahul thinks it is his birthright to rule’

Hitting out at the Congress leader, the union minister said, “He thinks it is his birthright to rule because he was born in a family. He does politics of entitlement and considers himself above the Constitution, court and Parliament.”

Further, the union minister also stated the incident of Gandhi tearing an ordinance passed by the Union Cabinet when the Congress-led UPA was in power and the presence of a “parallel PMO” in Sonia Gandhi-headed National Advisory Council to hit back at the opposition party over its charge of “weakening of institutions” under the current dispensation.

“All the corrupt people have united with one common goal of attacking the present government, which is working with a newer vigour for the country’s development,” he added
