Mr. Nadda had on Monday (Decemvber 22) alleged that some insiders led to the killing of State Congress leaders.
State Congress president Deepak Baij said Mr. Nadda had broken all decorum for political rhetoric.
“Mr. Nadda’s statement will not erase the stigma of Jhiram from the BJP’s forehead. Congress lost an entire generation of its leaders in the Jhiram attack, and at that time the Bharatiya Janata Party was in power in the State,” he said.
