NEW DELHI: BJP on Thursday said Rahul Gandhi 's latest tirade on the Indian economy by endorsing the " dead economy " jibe of US President Donald Trump has proved that the Congress leader is "delusional, ignorant of facts and deeply frustrated".
The party also took a swipe at Rahul, citing his affidavit from the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as per which he invested Rs 8 crore in the same "dead economy".
"The latest tirade by Rahul Gandhi on the Indian economy has proved once again that not only he is delusional and ignorant of facts but also deeply frustrated. Parroting imported narratives to show India in bad light and posing like an expert may serve his politics but will do little to establish him as a sensible politician," Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on X.
He said Rahul should come out of his fantasy world, else, the only thing that will be dead and destroyed is the little ground that Congress is holding. The party also questioned that if " demonetisation and a flawed GST" killed the economy, then how come India became the world's fastest-growing major economy, with nominal GDP tripling from 2014-15 to 2024-25.
BJP's IT department head Amit Malviya on X said that Rahul has "hit a new low by echoing the 'dead economy' jibe - a shameful insult to the aspirations, achievements, and well-being of the Indian people."
"But let's be honest -- the only thing truly 'dead' here is Rahul Gandhi's own political credibility and legacy," he added.
The BJP leaders reacted after the leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi said that everyone except Prime Minister Narendra Modi and finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman knows that the Indian economy is "dead".
BJP MP Anurag Thakur said making anti-India statements has become Rahul's "mentality".
"Whenever anyone makes an anti-India statement in the world, he grabs it," he said.
