BJP Rajya Sabha MP and national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said, “This is a symbol of the working style of BJP, how a person connected to the ground can reach the top with talent, capability and the support of the organisation.”

Referring to the photograph, Trivedi said, “This is a well-known photograph in which Advani ji is sitting on the chair, and PM Modi, who was a young Karyakarta at that time, is sitting on the floor.” He added that Digvijay Singh is a very senior leader and has been observing politics for a long time, suggesting that he might have realised this fact.

Taking a swipe at Congress party culture, Trivedi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is “Gudri ke Lal”, while the Congress leadership is described as “Jawahar ke Lal”, and both cannot be compared.

“The Congress leadership have brought their party to an upside-down state, while our Prime Minister rose from the bottom to the top and is taking the party to the top as well,” he said. Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, Trivedi said that Digvijay Singh had questioned Gandhi’s understanding. “Congress is struggling without power and after 2024 this struggle has turned into desperation and agony,” he added.

BJP national spokesperson, Shehzad Poonawalla also mocked Rahul Gandhi, saying, “…now even people from the party and family are expressing no-confidence against Rahul Gandhi.”
