Congress leader from Delhi Udit Raj has triggered a controversy by blaming the BJP for the Pulwama attacks. Raj also backed his party’s former president Rahul Gandhi who had asked ‘who benefitted by Pulwama attack?’ on the first anniversary of the deadly attack on a CRPF convoy last year.
In a series of tweets, Udit Raj blamed the centre for the Pulwama attack and alleged that they did it for electoral gains ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He also said that another Pulwama attack may happen before 2024 general elections, implying that BJP may trigger such an attack for electoral benefit.
He asked on Twitter why the CRPF jawans were sent through road and not by air and if the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had, in any way, known from prior that this could happen.
राहुल गांधी जी ने सही सवाल उठाया की पुलवामा हमले के जांच का नतीजा अभी तक नही आया जब गृहमंत्रालय को खबर मिल गयी थी कि CRPF को रोड से नहीं बल्कि एयर से ले जाना चाहिए तो इजाजत नहीं दिया अर्थात राजनैतिक लाभ के लिए यह घटना होने दिया।

In one of his tweets, Udit Raj said that BJP had gone out on a candle march across India, which was the work of the Opposition, but it was done by the ruling party. Holding BJP responsible for the Pulwama attack, Udit Raj tweeted that opposition had to question BJP as they had questioned Congress after 26/11.
पुलवामा हमले के बाद BJP कार्यकर्ता पूरे देश में कैंडल मार्च पर निकल गए जो विपक्ष का कार्य था वो सत्ता पक्ष ने कब्जा कर लिया।विपक्ष को सवाल पूछना चाहिए था जैसा 26/11ताज होटल के हमले में BJP ने किया था कि हमलावर कैसे आये?लगता है पूछने में कांग्रेस से चूक हो गयी,देर सही दुरुस्त हुआ।

In one of his tweets, he attacked and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleging that he is responsible for Gujrat riots and citing that Pulwama kind of attacks can happen in the country in the future.
Udit raj is a spokesperson of the Indian National Congress who had earlier left BJP after he was rejected a ticket for contesting General elections.
Pulwama attack was a massive explosion carried out by an attacker in Pulwama on 14 February 2014 which took the lives of 40 CRPF jawans. Congress left no stone unturned in terming the attack as the center’s tactic to win general elections and also questioned the retaliation of Indian Air Force’s Balakot strike.
