Raja Warring to contest againt BJP’s Ravneet Bitu from Ludhiana
Ahmedabad, October 13
BJP leader and Union Minister Uma Bharti today claimed the Congress “benefitted” from the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi as he had talked about disbanding the party after Independence.
She was responding to a question on the Supreme Court’s recent observations while hearing a plea seeking reopening of the investigation into the assassination.
“This matter is going on since the time Godse killed Gandhiji. Today I ask the country through you (the media) as to who benefitted from the murder of Gandhiji?” Bharti asked.
She said while the Sangh and Jan Sangh faced damage and the country suffered losses, “only the Congress benefitted from the assassination of Gandhiji”.
“Because Gandhiji had suggested that the Congress be dissolved (after Independence). In fact, he had already announced the Congress shall be disbanded,” the Minister of Drinking Water and Sanitation claimed. She was speaking to the media during the BJP’s ‘Gujarat Gaurav Yatra’ in Banaskantha district of north Gujarat.
