Reacting to Rahul Gandhi's speech, senior BJP leader and defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman addressed a press conference and presented a point-by-point rebuttal to Gandhi's allegations.
The defence minister took Rahul head on and said, "(Rahul's speech) sounds like a rhetoric of a loser devoid of substance.
Sithraman continued by adding, "Congress Party wants to identify itself with the Pandavas, The same party which questioned the fundamental existence of Lord Ram. It is the party which chooses to mock Hindus and Hindu rituals."
