Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman hit out at Congress and Its leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday for his remarks on the Indian state said that why he carries a copy of the constitution in his hand.

In a post on X Sitharaman wrote, "The LoP, who was sworn in by taking oath on the Constitution, is now saying, "We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian State itself."

"So, @INCIndia and @RahulGandhi, what are you carrying a copy of the constitution for in your hand?," she questioned in the post.

Notably, while inaugurating the party's new headquarters 'Indira Bhawan,' hitting out at the BJP and Rahul has alleged that the Congress and other opposition parties were not just fighting the BJP but "the Indian state itself."

Rahul's statement is now getting sharp criticism from BJP leaders. Responding to the statement Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri asked Rahul to undergo a medical checkup.

"Tell him to go get his mental stability checked," said Puri.

Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva said, "Rahul Gandhi's Congress is not working. Rahul Gandhi ruins Congress wherever he goes. He has already ruined Congress in Delhi. If corruption-free governance is needed in Delhi, then a double-engine government will be formed. BJP is coming to Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla slammed Rahul and called his statement a pre-planned experiment and sponsored business by George Soros.

"Today, the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi have made it clear that while opposing BJP and PM Modi they have started opposing the nation. They are fighting against India and Indian states. It is not a coincidence but a well-thought experiment. It has become an industry, sponsored by Soros (George Soros). Rahul Gandhi follows the agenda of 'Bharat Todo'..."

Rahul Gandhi's remarks have now ignited an all-out fight with the BJP who has criticised the remarks. With campaigning for the Delhi election entering a decisive phase the fight is expected to get bitter. (ANI)
