For him, nothing is above the country.\u201d She further pointed to <strong>Rahul Gandhi&#8217;s Bharat Jodo Yatra<\/strong>, during which he walked 4,000 kilometers from <strong>Kanyakumari to Kashmir<\/strong>, as a demonstration of his commitment to national unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, Priyanka criticized the BJP for its refusal to discuss the <strong>Adani issue<\/strong> in Parliament. \u201cThey don\u2019t have the courage to discuss the Adani issue. Why is there a problem in having a discussion? Discussion happens in a democracy, but they are afraid of it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, on Thursday, BJP MPs <strong>K. Laxman<\/strong> and <strong>Sambit Patra<\/strong> referenced a report from the French media outlet <strong>Mediapart<\/strong> to target Rahul Gandhi. <strong>Patra<\/strong> alleged that Rahul, along with billionaire investor <strong>George Soros<\/strong> and agencies like the <strong>Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)<\/strong>, were involved in a &#8220;dangerous triangle&#8221; aiming to destabilize India and foment public discontent to bring about a regime change. Patra went so far as to label Rahul Gandhi a \u201ctraitor of the highest order.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war of words between the Congress and BJP continues to intensify, with both parties accusing each other of undermining India\u2019s democracy and sovereignty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday following BJP leader Sambit Patra\u2019s accusation that Rahul Gandhi,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4603],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58470","post","has-post-thumbnail","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58470"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58472,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58470\/revisions\/58472"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/earlypostdaily.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
