BJP releases ‘Congress Toolkit’ aimed at defaming Modi government, grand old party terms it fake

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra today released some 'toolkits' allegedly prepared by the Congress to defame Modi and the BJP government.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis which has seen Congress sharpening its attack on the Narendra Modi government, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra today released some ‘toolkits’ allegedly prepared by the Congress to defame Modi and the BJP government. On the other hand, the Congress party termed the toolkits fake and warned of an FIR against Patra and the party president JP Nadda.

Releasing the first toolkit related to COVID-19, Patra said in a tweet, “Friends look at the #CongressToolKit in extending help to the needy during the Pandemic! More of a PR exercise with the help of ‘Friendly Journalists’ & ‘Influencers’ than a soulful endeavour. Read for yourselves the agenda of the Congress.”

“Toolkits are not alien to the Congress and their eco-system. Infact, a substantial part of their energy goes into making them. Here is a toolkit on the Central Vista…they make one Toolkit or the other every week and when exposed, they ‘deny’ it,” said Patra in another tweet.

The toolkit, the BJP alleged, was prepared by the research department of Congress.

On the other hand, the Congress party called the toolkit fake and accused the saffron party of forging lies. Chairman AICC Research Department and national spokesperson of the Congress Rajeev Gowda said that the party will file an FIR in the matter. “BJP is propagating a fake ‘toolkit’ on ‘COVID-19 mismanagement’ & attributing it to AICC Research Department. We are filing an FIR for forgery against JP Nadda & Sambit Patra. When our country is devastated by COVID, instead of providing relief, BJP shamelessly concocts forgeries,” he said in a tweet.
