Toolkit row: Two Congress leaders asked to join probe by Delhi Police
The Delhi Police has served notices to two Congress leaders, asking them to join the probe in the party s toolkit that aimed to defame the Modi government over its alleged mismanagement during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in the country.
The two leaders are Rajiv Gowda and Rohan Gupta. Notably, Gowda and Gupta had earlier filed a complaint against BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra after he accused the grand old party of circulating a toolkit among the party workers aimed at eroding the reputation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA government. Both the Congress leaders later filed complaints and accused Patra of sharing a fake Congress toolkit .
In an interview with
The Hindu after he led the Left Democratic Front (LDF) back to power for a second consecutive term in Kerala, Mr. Vijayan said the electoral victory of the LDF in Kerala and the ascension to power of the DMK alliance in Tamil Nadu had buoyed the prospects of a national alternative to the BJP at the Centre. “So, certainly alternatives will emerge,” he said.
How did it start?
The controversy started on May 18 after some BJP leaders shared screenshots of a toolkit on Twitter allegedly created by a research cell of the Congress party led by Rajeev Gowda.
