The BJP on Saturday (December 27, 2025) alleged that Congress leader Digvijay Singh's praise for the organisational power of the BJP and the RSS was an "open dissent" against Rahul Gandhi's leadership in the party.
BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi alleged that Mr. Gandhi was bringing his party "upside down" because he had been sidelined in the party.
"It's because our Narendra Modi is 'guddri ke lal' (diamond in the rough) and their leader is 'Jawahar ke lal' (great-grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru). Since our Narendra Modi has risen to top from bottom, he is taking the party (BJP) also to the top from bottom," Mr. Trivedi told a press conference at the BJP headquarters.
In a swipe at Mr. Gandhi, he said, "Since their leader is 'Jawahar ke lal' who is now 'side down from up', he is bringing his party upside down."
Digvijay Singh on Saturday on X lauded the organisational power of RSS-BJP as he shared Narendra Modi's old picture and said how a grassroots worker went on to become the chief minister and prime minister by sitting at the feet of their leaders.
