Rahul Gandhi used Kharge as his tissue paper - BJP alleges

The BJP hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after a video surfaced online showing him allegedly wiping his index finge on party chief and Dalit leader Mallikarjun Kharge’s jacket back.

Sharing the video on Twitter, the Karnataka unit of the BJP said that the clip “epitomises” what Gandhis think of senior leaders like Kharge. The BJP also accused Rahul Gandhi of using Kharge as his “tissue paper”.

"This video shows how much respect Prince Rahul Gandhi has for Mr. Mallikarjuna Kharge. Self-respecting Kannadigas will never forget this disrespectful attitude of throwing senior Kannadigas away like tissue paper", tweets Karnataka BJP in Kannada.

“UNFORTUNATELY, the video epitomises what ‘Gandhi’s’ think of senior leaders like @kharge. It is highly condemnable that @RahulGandhi uses somebody as his TISSUE PAPER! This Humiliation to a Kannadiga can not be forgiven,” in english the Karnataka BJP said on Twitter.
