Bandi Sanjay Demands Apology From Rahul Gandhi

Telangana BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar today demanded an unconditional apology from Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for making derogatory comments against "Prime Minister Narendra Modi" for which he had been convicted by a Gujarat court.

Speaking to media persons at Telangana Bhavan in New Delhi, Sanjay said that by commenting that all those with surname "Modi" were thieves, Gandhi had not only insulted the Prime Minister but also the OBC communities.

"He should admit his mistake and immediately tender an unconditional apology to Modi as well as the OBC sections," Sanjay demanded, and called upon the OBCs to register their protest against Gandhi for insulting the Prime Minister.

He added that treating the OBCs with contempt, denigrating the courts and violating the law was in the Congress' DNA.

"From Indira Gandhi in the past to Rahul Gandhi at present, the Congress leaders have been routinely disrespecting the judiciary. When a court delivers a judgement, they attribute motives to the judges instead of honouring the judgment. This is nothing but insulting the judiciary," he said.

Sanjay also said that there had been no change in the attitude of the Congress leader despite receiving a rap from the Supreme Court for his "chowkidar chor hai" comment.

"Rahul Gandhi doesn't know what he speaks. He denigrated even Parliament by saying that it was his misfortune that he had become an MP. His own party workers are saying that the party has plunged into a crisis only because of him," he said.
