They hate Patidars and that’s why they either hate them, shoot them or keep them in the party to render them useless,” Italia alleged. ![]() The only reason I can think of is that the BJP can’t see anyone from the Patidar community rise. “Why are they targeting Gopal Italia? I am a common man who comes from a poor family. I respect the mother of our Prime Minister, but crores of mothers are being insulted due to lack of facilities,” Italia said at a public gathering in Rajkot, after returning from Delhi. These mothers can’t feed their children, send them to schools for education and are unable to access good hospitals for treatment. I believe that the way Prime Minister and Smritiben are running the government, the way inflation has increased, is the biggest insult to mothers of family members of six crore Gujaratis. “Smritiben Irani is claiming that the mother of the honourable Prime Minister has been insulted. Italia wrote that “the children of Kansa are preaching on Mother who entered the residential society, abused and lathicharged innocent women”. Meanwhile, Italia responded to Irani with a tweet attaching a picture, showing police lathi charging a group of women purportedly during the 2015 Patidar agitation for reservation. His party leaders-including Kejriwal and Raghav Chadha-defended him and called the police action a result of “BJP’s hatred for the Patidar community”.Īlso Read | Gujaratis will make AAP pay price in polls for 'abusing' PM Modi's mother: BJP Italia appeared before the National Commission for Women in New Delhi on Thursday, after which he was detained by Delhi Police for nearly three hours. However, the Kejriwal-led party is rallying the Patidar community-one of the most influential communities in the state-to defend their member Italia. The BJP seems to be trying hard to suppress AAP’s rising popularity by targeting Italia for his “attack on son of the soil Narendra Modi and Gujarati pride”. Union minister and BJP MP from Surat Darshana Jardosh also attacked Italia at a public event, and asked the public to give him a befitting reply in the Assembly polls of the latter’s alleged transgressions. A day earlier, she had called him “gutter mouth” in a tweet. ![]() And for that mistake, Gujarat and Gujaratis will make you pay the political price in the forthcoming elections,” Irani told reporters in Delhi. “If you think abusing the prime minister and his mother will help you gain political popularity in Gujarat, you are mistaken. Many BJP leaders, including Union minister Smriti Irani, have upped the ante against AAP by seeking an explanation from Kejriwal, to seemingly put the rival party on the backfoot.Īlso Read | Delhi Police detain AAP Gujarat chief Gopal Italia for over 2.5 hours amid protest The attack on Italia comes days after Modi said that unlike previous years when the Congress used to “abuse” him, this time around it has outsourced the job to others, hinting at AAP. Many social media users have also been posting Italia’s old pictures with activists including Medha Patkar of Narmada Bachao Andolan, Shabnam Hashmi of ANHAD to discredit him for associating with "anti-Gujarat and anti-Hindu forces." AAP’s Gujarat president Gopal Italia is on the receiving end of BJP’s attack as several of his supposedly “anti-Hindu” videos and footage of him using “derogatory language” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as his centenarian mother, have been gaining popularity on social media in the past week. The Bharatiya Janata Party in Gujarat seems to have gotten an upper hand against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that has been gaining favour among masses in the build up to Gujarat Assembly polls. ![]()
