'Those losing ideological battle hatching conspiracy to silence Rahul Gandhi'

The Congress on Monday escalated its attack on the BJP-RSS over a former ABVP leader's controversial remarks targeting Rahul Gandhi, saying those who are losing the ideological battle and whose "theft" has been exposed are hatching a "conspiracy" to silence the Leader of Opposition.

The Opposition party has flagged what it termed a "chilling and heinous" death threat to Rahul Gandhi by Printu Mahadev, a former state president of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the RSS.

Speaking with reporters, Congress general secretary incharge organisation K C Venugopal said, "A BJP spokesperson issued an open threat during a TV debate. I don't know why Kerala Police is not taking action, that's why I wrote to Amit Shah Ji. There is a clear threat from a BJP spokesperson... We think this is part of a bigger conspiracy.
