Responding to former AAP MLA Bhupat Bhayani’s comment on Rahul Gandhi, GPCC spokesperson Manish Doshi said the comments reflect the ‘low-level’ mentality of the BJP leaders.
Bhayani, who’s now in BJP, called Gandhi a ‘Napunshak’ (impotent) during a public meeting. “With one leader after another making such statements, the Congress party demands that the EC should take strict action against those making such disastrous statements,” Doshi said.
