BJP's social media chief Amit Malviya resurrected the Bofors scam to embarrass Gandhi. "He earlier tried to salvage his father's Bofors legacy by questioning the Rafale deal," remarked Malviya.
He said that the constant attack on Modi by Rahul Gandhi was nothing but "an effort to whitewash the sins of Nehru", alleging it was independent India's first Prime Minister and Gandhi's great-grandfather who ceded a chunk of Indian territory to China.
