BJP, RSS carried attack on my convoy, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday held BJP and RSS workers responsible for the attack on his car in Gujarat, saying the incident was a “pre-planned conspiracy”.

“In Friday’s incident, BJP workers threw such a huge stone that my personal security officer was injured. This is how they and Modi conduct politics,” he said.

He urged Congress party workers in Gujarat to use their energy to help those affected by floods rather than to protest the attack on him. Congress leaders have described the incident as a “murderous attack”.

Meanwhile, one person was on Saturday arrested for allegedly throwing a stone on Rahul Gandhi’s car.
