War of words ensued between Congress’ Rahul Gandhi and BJP National spokesperson Sambit Patra on Wednesday (October 6). Earlier on Wednesday morning, Rahul Gandhi held a press conference blaming BJP govt for Lakhimpur violence and stated that criminals are free to do whatever they want in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh.

In a counter response BJP’s Sambit Patra lambasted Rahul Gandhi in a press conference. Patra said Rahul Gandhi sees this tragic incident as opportunity and is trying to gain political mileage out of it.
