BJP leader and Union Minister Uma Bharti on Thursday claimed the Congress “benefited” from the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi as he had talked about disbanding the party after Independence.
She was responding to a question on the Supreme Court’s recent observations while hearing a plea seeking reopening of the investigation into the assassination.
Bharti said that while the Sangh and Jan Sangh faced damage and the country suffered losses “only the Congress benefited from the assassination of Gandhiji”.
