Taking strong exception to the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha, the Telangana Congress president, Revanth Reddy on Friday claimed that senior party leader's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' and his demand for a JPC probe into the Adani issue are giving sleepless nights to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In a tweet in Telugu, the Lok Sabha MP termed Rahul Gandhi's disqualification as a "death blow" to democracy and freedom of expression.

The TPCC president claimed that Rahul Gandhi undertaking 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' to safeguard democracy and fighting on the floor of Parliament for a JPC probe into the Adani issue are giving sleepless nights to Modi.

He asserted that the Congress would defeat the "conspiracy" through a legal battle.

Affirming that the country would stand with Rahul Gandhi, Revanth Reddy told reporters in Hyderabad that he and other party men would hit the streets against such "wicked decisions".

Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from Lok Sabha on Friday, a day after he was convicted by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case. -- PTI
