Taking a swipe at the Congress after its president Rahul Gandhi tendered an unconditional apology for attributing the ‘chowkidar chor hai’ remark to the Supreme Court, the BJP on Wednesday said it showed the Opposition party’s “political bankruptcy“.
“Rahul Gandhi had to apologise to the Supreme Court for attributing lies to the Supreme Court. Congress is a habitual liar. This is political bankruptcy. This is desperation,” Union Minister Prakash Javadekar told a press conference.
The Minister also listed out over 50 “abuses” which he alleged were hurled by the Congress and other Opposition parties at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and claimed that the more they do so, the more seats the BJP would win.
He said the Congress was “desperate” as it stood no chance to win people’s confidence. “They are doing this out of sheer desperation and hatredbecause they understand that in front of Modi, they stand no chance to win public confidence. They are hurling casteist abuses. This is Congress culture. It is happening because we are discussing scams,” the Minister alleged.
