Rahul Gandhi Says I'm For Love, His Love Mani Shankar Aiyar Is Back: BJP

New Delhi, Aug 20: The BJP today took on Rahul Gandhi over the revocation of suspension from his party of Mani Shankar Aiyar, who had used objectionable language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying it exposed the Congress chief and his "love for a person of many controversies".

Mr Aiyar was suspended from the primary membership of the Congress on December 7 last year for his "neech aadmi" remarks against PM Modi on the eve of the Gujarat Assembly polls.

Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, party spokesperson Sambit Patra questioned why Mr Aiyar was taken back by the Congress, wondering if the party was incomplete without him.

"Rahul Gandhi had clarified that the Congress did not support Aiyar's foul language and that there was no place for such leaders in the party. But now, the way he has been taken back shows it was only a lip service and the Congress president stands exposed," he said.

Citing various controversial statements made by Mr Aiyar against PM Modi, the BJP leader said he was the real face of the Congress.

Referring to a tweet of Mr Gandhi where he said he was the Congress and the Congress was love, Mr Patra wondered whether this love was for Mr Aiyar, a man of many controversies.

"Rahul Gandhi tweets, saying I am Congress and I am love and now, his love Mani Shankar Aiyar is back...a man of many controversies," he said.

The Congress chief revoked Mr Aiyar's suspension from the party yesterday on the recommendation of its central disciplinary committee.

Mr Aiyar had also courted controversy when he hosted a former Pakistani foreign minister and senior Congress leaders, including former prime minister Manmohan Singh, at his residence here ahead of the Gujarat polls.

The issue had become a major campaign point for the BJP with PM Modi personally raking it up.

Bhopal, Mar 12: The Madhya Pradesh Congress on Thursday took a dig at Jyotiraditya Scindia, who broke ranks with the party and joined BJP on Wednesday, by pointing out that neither Prime Minister Narendra Modi nor Amit Shah had not even put out as much a tweet to welcome him in the party, and construed it as "humiliation" for the "maharaja".

"Not even a tweet by Narendra Modi-ji or Amit Shah-ji to welcome Scindia-ji! Modi-ji, Shah-ji, at least do not do it so soon. It has not even been 24 hours yet and you guys have already started humiliating him...!" Madya Pradesh Congress tweeted in Hindi.

Taking a jibe at Mr Scindia, a member of the erstwhile royal family of Gwalior who ended his 18-year-long association with the Congress party on a bitter note, the state Congress said: "He is a maharaja, the one whose history is often mentioned by Shivraj-ji (former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan)."

On Wednesday, Jyotiraditya  Scindia joined BJP in New Delhi in the presence of party president JP Nadda. He had resigned from Congress a day earlier after meeting Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Mr Scindia will file his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections on March 13. He is expected to go to Bhopal today.

Bhopal, Mar 10: The number of MLAs who have resigned from the Congress in Madhya Pradesh climbed to 20 on Tuesday afternoon with another legislator quitting the ruling party, sources said.

While 19 MLAs, most of them believed to be loyal to expelled party leader Jyotiraditya Scindia, have sent their resignation letters via e-mail to Raj Bhavan, Bisahulal Singh submitted his resignation letter as an MLA to the Assembly speaker.

"We have received resignations of 19 MLAs through e-mails with attachments," a Raj Bhawan official told PTI.

Sources in Congress produced a copy of Bisahulal Singh's resignation letter which he submitted to the speaker.

Former chief minister and senior BJP leader later announced that Singh (65) has joined the BJP.
