Rahul is like captain who jumps out when ship is sinking: Shivraj

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Senior BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Rahul Gandhi resigning as Congress president was akin to captain of the ship jumping out when it is sinking. The former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister was addressing a press conference.

“The Congress president has tendered his resignation”. I had heard that when a ship sinks, its captain tries to save it till the end. But here the captain himself has jumped out,” Shivraj Singh Chouhan said. “Mahatma Gandhi had said immediately after independence that the Congress’ objective was to gain freedom and now it should be dissolved.

“I think after Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru also said so. Now, the fake Gandhi will certainly fulfil the dream of the real Gandhi and will finish off Congress,” he said. The Bharatiya Janata Party did not waste time in rejoicing after the Lok Sabha victory but started working on expanding the organisation with a membership drive, he said.
