**BJP Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari Criticises Rahul Gandhi, Highlights Issues in J&K, Delhi, and Karnataka**
*New Delhi, Sep 25:* BJP Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari on Wednesday criticised the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of holding a mindset similar to those in Pakistan regarding Jammu & Kashmir.
“Rahul Gandhi’s mindset is divisive. He refers to people outside J&K as outsiders and speaks as if Kashmir is not a part of India, which echoes the thinking of those in Pakistan,” Bhandari told IANS.
He further pointed out that although Rahul Gandhi carries a copy of the Constitution, he does not seem to adhere to its principles. “Rahul Gandhi fears that the people of Kashmir will not accept him, as they have already embraced Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s development agenda. That is why Omar Abdullah advised him to hold rallies throughout J&K, rather than in just one location, but he is unable to run an effective campaign,” Bhandari added.
**Comments on Delhi Politics**
Addressing the political situation in Delhi, Bhandari commented on Chief Minister Atishi’s role. “Atishi, competing with her political mentor and corruption guru Arvind Kejriwal, understands that if she doesn’t glorify the former Delhi CM’s corrupt practices, she won’t be able to maintain her position as the puppet Chief Minister of Delhi,” he said.
He also criticised comparisons made by certain political factions involving Lord Ram. “Those who once glorified Afzal Guru and advocated for hospitals instead of the Ram Mandir are now insulting millions of Hindus again by comparing a person living in a ₹40 crore mansion and allegedly implicated in the liquor scam, as per the court, with Lord Ram. This is tragic and unfortunate,” Bhandari stated.
“The AAP has made it clear that such individuals are considered sinful in the eyes of Hindus, making this comparison deeply offensive,” he added.
**Allegations in Karnataka’s MUDA Case**
Speaking on the MUDA case, the BJP spokesperson accused former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of corruption. “Siddaramaiah, the most corrupt Chief Minister Karnataka has ever seen, has been accused by the Karnataka High Court of misusing his position to grant an illicit benefit of ₹55 crore to his son and wife,” Bhandari alleged.
He criticised Rahul Gandhi for not demanding Siddaramaiah’s resignation despite the accusations. “Despite Rahul Gandhi’s constant parading with the Constitution, he is not demanding Siddaramaiah’s resignation, because he allegedly orchestrates this corruption,” he claimed.
Bhandari further noted that Siddaramaiah used to disrupt Assembly proceedings over corruption issues but remains silent when exposed himself. “This proves that the Congress is a party of corruption, with internal competition to be crowned the king of corruption,” he added.
**Remarks on Badlapur Encounter**
Addressing the Badlapur encounter, Bhandari praised the NDA government under Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for supporting victims in legal disputes.
“Some might have hoped that Nilesh More’s life would hold no value after Akshay Shinde threatened him, but the government has taken a firm stand. The people of this country have witnessed how the INDI alliance sides with criminals,” he alleged.
