Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that his party does not need anyone who wants to leave, adding that they can “go to RSS [Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh]”, reported The Hindu.
“There are many people who are not scared, but are outside the Congress. All these people are ours,” he said. “Bring them in, and those scared within our party should be shunted out. They can go to RSS people, let them enjoy. We do not want them, they are not needed. We want fearless people. This is our ideology. This is my basic message to you.”
He was virtually addressing a meeting of social media workers in the Congress. The Congress leader urged them to not be afraid of speaking to him. “You are talking to your brother and you should not be scared,” he said, reported PTI. “You should not be scared and you will never see me being afraid.”
Gandhi cited the example of former Congress leader and current Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who quit the party in March 2020 to join the Bharatiya Janata Party. “He had to save his house and he got scared and he joined the RSS,” Gandhi added.
