Bidhuri’s remark against BSP MP is distraction strategy of BJP: Rahul

The main problems in India are concentration of wealth, huge wealth inequality, huge unemployment and huge unfairness towards the lower caste, OBCs and tribal communities. These are issues. Now the BJP cannot contest these,” he said.
