NEW DELHI: Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi after he attacked the federal government over the OROP issue, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said on Saturday the Congress chief has been pressured to keep in mind soldiers after being out of energy for 4 and part years.
BJP media head and Rajya Sabha MP Anil Baluni said Gandhi was observed "standing with the corrupt" when the Congress-led executive was in energy between 2004 and 2014, however he did not anything for soldiers.
"It is shameful that Gandhi is criticising the Modi government which implemented the 'One Rank One Pension' (OROP) scheme for soldiers while he himself did nothing for them. It is the new kind of low-level politics he has started," he said.
Baluni said regardless that Gandhi was essentially the most tough man within the 10 years of the UPA rule, he had by no means uttered a phrase for soldiers.
The Gandhi family was in energy for greater than 40 years however carried out no welfare measures for soldiers, he alleged.
Rahul Gandhi advised a bunch of ex-servicemen Saturday that a Congress-led executive would fulfil all the commitments the birthday celebration had made on the 'one rank, one pension' issue.
Raking up the Rafale fighter jet deal, he advised the gang of retired defence staff that the federal government passed out Rs 30,000 crore to industrialist Anil Ambani, however refused to fulfill the calls for of the soldiers on OROP.
Taking a dig on the Congress chief, Baluni said,"After being our of power for four and half years and getting no closer to it, Gandhi has begun remembering soldiers."
By executing the OROP, the federal government has given soldiers their due respect, the BJP chief said.
