NEW DELHI: The BJP on Thursday launched a strong attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks concerning COEMPT Edutech Pvt. Ltd. BJP national information wing in-charge Amit Malviya, in a detailed post, hit back at Rahul Gandhi.
He stated, "Rahul Gandhi has once again chosen propaganda over facts. Before making sensational allegations and attempting to mislead the country, he should first verify basic facts instead of indulging in his habitual politics of misinformation."
Further targeting Rahul Gandhi, Malviya alleged, "Rahul Gandhi is now trying to portray COEMPT Edutech Pvt. Ltd. as a ‘controversial’ company and questioning why contracts were awarded to it. But if the company is truly as tainted as he claims today, why have universities and institutions in Congress ruled states repeatedly engaged the same company for multiple projects?"
He added that documentary evidence allegedly establishes COEMPT’s work with institutions under Congress governments, including Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Telangana (agreement dated September 2024); Bengaluru City University, Karnataka (agreement dated November 2025); Adikavi Sri Maharshi Valmiki University, Raichur, Karnataka (agreement dated March 2024); and Karnataka University, Dharwad.
He further referred to a work order dated June 8, 2023, issued by Telangana State Health University, which has also publicly appreciated the company on its official website.
Malviya said, "The questions are straightforward: If Rahul Gandhi believes the company is ‘tainted’, will he now accuse Congress governments in Telangana and Karnataka of collusion as well? Will he demand resignations from Congress Chief Ministers too? Did Congress governments fail to conduct due diligence before signing agreements with the same company? Or is this yet another selective and politically scripted outrage aimed solely at targeting the Modi government?"
Continuing his criticism of Rahul Gandhi, Malviya remarked, "This is not about defending or attacking any company. It is about Rahul Gandhi’s repeated habit of making reckless allegations without evidence, consistency, or accountability. Every time facts corner him, Congress falls back on conspiracy theories, manufactured outrage, and political theatrics."
He also sought a direct response from Rahul Gandhi, asking, "Rahul Gandhi must answer one simple question: if the company was genuinely unacceptable, why did Congress ruled institutions continue to trust and engage it?"
