According to Thakur, Rahul Gandhi resorts to gimmicks to achieve his cheap popularity.
On Tuesday, Anurag Thakur wondered that if it was a deliberate action or a conspiracy on part of Congress leaders. He characterized Gandhi as a “serial offender” who has multiple cases of defamation registered in various courts even after being warned.
As per the media reports Thakur was heard saying: “Rahul Gandhi and Congress have been insulting the OBC community. Has the Congress party stopped believing in the courts? Rahul Gandhi’s arrogance is such that he did not apologise to the OBC community, or in the court. He is not ready to accept the court’s judgment. The order was of the court. His membership ended soon after the court delivered its verdict. Why are they creating this drama now?” He has questioned the Congress party, who will keep wearing black clothes after doing black deeds.
