Several BJP leaders, including party chief J P Nadda, have accused Gandhi of insulting Other Backward Classes (OBCs) with his remark for which he has been convicted by a Surat court.
Gandhi (52) was disqualified from the Lok Sabha last month after he was convicted by a court in Gujarat’s Surat in a 2019 defamation case.
The court in Surat sentenced Gandhi to two years in jail in the case, filed on a complaint by BJP MLA Purnesh Modi for his remark, ”How come all thieves have Modi as the common surname?” On Twitter, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh tagged a media report which said that the national core committee of the OBC Mahasabha in Gwalior has issued a legal notice to BJP president JP Nadda in which it has been claimed that he ”insulted” the OBC community on the issue of Rahul Gandhi and he should apologise.
