'Take homoeopathic medicine...': Uma Bharti's sharp dig at Rahul Gandhi after his 'vote chori' allegations

Uma Bharti

Former Union Minister Uma Bharti has launched a scathing attack at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his allegations of 'vote chori' against the BJP and the Election Commission.

Bharti said that Gandhi should either think before speaking or should take homoeopathic medicine to improve his memory. "Rahul Gandhi forgets that elections are not won by the Election Commission; they are won by winning the hearts of the people. I will tell Rahul Gandhi, first, learn to win the hearts of people. You disrespect the armed forces, talk about restoring Article 370 in J-K, despite the invitation, you did not even attend the Ram temple's consecration ceremony. You disregard all things of national pride and are unable to win polls (as a party), the party is being wiped out," she said, adding “Think before speaking or take homoeopathic medicine to improve memory."

She also brought up the Emergency period under the Congress rule and said that the advisors of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had told her that she would sweep the polls as the public was afraid that she was in control.

"She lost. When voters decide whom to elect, nobody can steal a mandate...all the power is with the voters," Uma Bharti further said.

Rahul Gandhi is currently undertaking the 'Vote Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar. The yatra is 16-days-long and will conclude on September 1. Speaking in Siwan on Friday, he said people of Bihar have made it clear that they will not allow "vote theft" in their state. Elections are scheduled to take place in Bihar later this year.
