Hours after BJP MP Pratap Sarangi was injured in chaos outside Parliament and alleged Congress MP Rahul Gandhi Pushed him, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra called this as conspiracy.
Speaking to ANI, she said, “Rahul ji carrying a photo of Dr BR Ambedkar and saying “Jai Bhim” slogan was peacefully entering the Parliament. You can see who stopped him from going inside. We have been protesting for so many days now and always give way to people. Today, when they ( BJP MPs) protested there was jostling and this ‘goonda-gardi’. Now, only to save Amit Shah ji, they are have started this conspiracy that Bhaiya ( Rahul Gandhi) pushed someone. Before my eyes, Kharge ji was pushed and he fell to the ground. After that a CPM MP was pushed and he fell on Kharge ji…All this is a conspiracy…Their (BJP) real sentiment was seen today …I challenge the BJP MPs to chant ‘Jai Bhim’.”
Earlier in day, Pratap Sarangi alleged that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi pushed him, causing the individual to fall on him amid a showdown between the ruling and the Opposition parties over the Ambedkar row.
Pratap Chandra Sarangi said, “Rahul Gandhi pushed an MP who fell on me, after which I fell down…I was standing near the stairs when Rahul Gandhi came and pushed an MP who then fell on me…”
Sarangi had alleged that sustained some injuries during the showdown. He was later taken to the hospital for treatment.
