The BJP in Gujarat has publicly asked Rahul Gandhi to substantiate his claim that the party was involved in phone‑tapping.
New Delhi — The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Gujarat issued a formal challenge to opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, urging him to produce concrete evidence supporting his allegation that the party engaged in phone‑tapping of political opponents. The statement, released through the state unit’s spokesperson, said the claim was serious and required verification before being aired publicly.
Gandhi had earlier hinted at surveillance activities during a rally, suggesting that the BJP used electronic means to monitor dissenting voices. The BJP response rejected the insinuation as baseless, calling it an attempt to divert attention from ongoing political debates in the state.
No independent investigation has been launched yet, and both sides have refrained from commenting further until additional information emerges.
