BJP Hits Back at Rahul Gandhi Over 'Surrender' Jibe at PM Modi

04 June, 2025

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongly criticised Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for his remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Senior BJP leader and spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi accused Rahul Gandhi of making “objectionable and cheap” comments targeting the Prime Minister.

"Rahul Gandhi has proved again that he does not have the ability and maturity to handle a post like the Leader of the Opposition and has shown his lack of wisdom and low standards," said Trivedi.

"He has used such a word which even Pakistan's Army, terrorist organisations, or UN-designated terrorists Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed have not used,” "The level of intelligence and wisdom of someone who sees receiving less than three points in their third attempt in the election result as a success, and sees being elected as the Prime Minister for the third time as a defeat, is obvious. I want to ask the Congress party; has Rahul Gandhi insulted the Army by using the word surrender or not? He has used such a word that even Pakistan's Army, terrorist organisations, or UN-designated terrorists Masood Azhar or Hafiz Saeed have not used," he further stated. 

Rahul Gandhi had on Tuesday alleged that PM Modi surrendered after a call from US President Donald Trump during the India-Pakistan military conflict.

"A call came from Trump and Narendra ji immediately surrendered - history is a witness, this is the character of BJP-RSS, they always bow down," he had said.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Pawan Khera on Wednesday sparked another political war of words, saying, "The truth of this person is — 'Naam Narender, kaam surrender'."
