A day after Rahul Gandhi called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “formidable enemy”, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary CT Ravi on Monday hit out at the Congress leader and called him a “runaway MP”.
In an open letter to the Wayanad MP, a copy of which was shared on microblogging site Twitter, CT Ravi said, “You have termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a ‘formidable enemy’, and have said that “we have defeated much enemy bigger than this”. Let me tell you something using simple words. PM Narendra Modi or the BJP have never treated you as an enemy. You are nothing more than our political opponent and I sincerely hope you understand this plain truth.”
Dear @RahulGandhi,
You have labelled PM Modi as "formidable enemy".
Here is my open letter to you. You and your family are India's most "formidable enemy".
I dare you to prove me wrong.#FormidableEnemyCONgress pic.twitter.com/TP43SBadzJ

“Our “formidable enemy” is anyone working against the interests of Bharata Mata. We treat Her enemies, be it internal or external as “formidable enemy” “, the letter said.
CT Ravi, in his open letter, also asked the Wayanad MP how his “election holidays” were going, and asked if he was enjoying them. “You failed to prove your worth as a MP of Amethi. You ran away to Wayanad and won due to communal polarization of votes”, said the letter.
Attacking Jawaharlal Nehru, CT Ravi asked Rahul Gandhi, “For personal glory, your great grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru created the Kashmir mess by bringing in Article 370. Thousands of our soldiers were martyred and lakhs of our Kashmiri Pandits suffered due to his Sin. Did he defeat the “bigger enemy”, his personal ego? ”
“By failing to see through the cunning moves of China, Nehru created the Himalayan Blunder by surrendering our land in 1962. Did he defeat the “bigger enemy”, his blind faith in Chinese?”, the letter further stated.
Taking a dig at the Congress’ brush with authoritarianism, Ravi asked, “To remain in power your grandmother Indira Gandhi destroyed the Constitution by imposing emergency in 1975. Did she defeat the “bigger enemy”, her lust for power?”
“In order to split Sikh votes and weaken the Akali Dal, your grandma Indira propped up Bhindranwale. This ill-concerived move not only created a nightmare called khalistan, but also resulted in her own assassination. Did Indira defeat the “bigger enemy”, her political weakness?”, the letter said.
In his letter, Ravi also alleged that Rajiv Gandhi was responsible for the Sikh genocide an termed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as a “puppet Prime Minister” under Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.
Furthermore, the Nehru-Gandhi family “destroyed the development of the Nation for seven decades” by “creating and nurturing the Frankenstein monster called Corruption”, CT Ravi alleged. He then accused the Congress’ First Family of being the “formidable enemy” of India’s growth and progress. He also pointed out the flip-flop in the Congress’ position regarding the sport of jallikattu.
Posing several questions, Ravi finally reminded Rahul Gandhi that jealousy would ultimately result in his own destruction.
