Rahul Gandhi appealed his defamation case conviction on Monday, and the BJP charged the Congress with making a power play in front of the Surat court, calling it a display of his “arrogance” and unethical.
When Gandhi filed the appeal in the sessions court, he was accompanied by several senior Congress members. BJP national spokesperson and MP Sudhanshu Trivedi questioned whether this was an instance of Gandhi’s arrogance, an attempt to apply pressure to the judiciary, or a case of him using the “familiar tactic” of browbeating investigation agencies.
A huge group of Congress people had assembled outside the court and were humming Gandhi’s praises.
