BJP hits back at Rahul, calls him non-serious political player


New Delhi, Aug 30 (IANS): Hitting back at Congress President Rahul Gandhi for his attack on government over demonetisation and Rafale fighter jet deal, the BJP on Thursday said that he will not succeed in launching his career by repeatedly making false allegations in his "parrot pattern press conferences."

"For the last two years, you have been targeting the government, sometimes by calling GST, Gabbar Singh Tax and sometimes alleging corruption in Rafale deal. You have also been pointing fingers at the government over demonetisation saying it benefitted some 15 industrialists," BJP Spokesperson Sambit Patra told a press conference.

He said the people have repeatedly rejected not only the Congress but also the versions presented by Rahul Gandhi.

"He (Rahul Gandhi) appeared today as a very non-serious political player. There was nothing new to offer and only repetition of what he already has said," the spokesperson said.

Gandhi, who addressed a hurriedly called press conference earlier in the day, termed demonetization a scam intended to benefit "15-20 crony capitalist friends" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused him of lying in the Rafale deal.

"Whatever allegations he has made over demonetisation, people have already answered in 2016 and 2017. During Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, the same allegations were leveled by Gandhi. But when the results came out, the BJP got 325 seats while the Congress got only seven. The best judge in democracy is the people," Patra said.

Attacking the Congress President, he cited various scams that allegedly emerged during the Congress regime.

"For Rahul Gandhi, reform is deform. What is reform for the country is akin to deform for Rahul Gandhi," he said.

Countering Gandhi over his claims that Modi government has favoured 15 industrialists, he asked: "Can you tell a single name among them?".

On the charge that the Modi government has destroyed the Indian economy, Patra said many international organisations have pointed out that because of the reforms, India has become an engine of global economy.

About the accusation that the Prime Minister was lying in the Rafale deal, the BJP leader called Gandhi an immature leader who plays with the security of the country and portrays himself as the PM aspirant.

"For 10-11 long years, despite the fact that squadron strength of the Indian Air Force has been drastically come down, your party and your government could do nothing to restore this strength. That amounted to compromising with security of this country," he said.

    For BJP, the big obstacle is RaGa. They & media is maligning him such a way that they want to corner him. BJP has a big fear that RaGa might topple their plan to loot India further.

    Mr. Bhandarkar

    When Rajiv Gandhi became PM everyone questioned his ability as he is no politician, he was outside Inida, he was a pilot, how he can run the prime minister post. And you know how he handled everything and finally sacrificed himself. Rahul Gandhi is also his blood. Do not mock him if you can not say a good word. To do good job you need not to lie like your 56' and fool 1.4bn people and the idiots buy his words.

    If anybody understands the depth of the Demo scam by Namo, is the poorest of the poor.
    Even their hard savings money got scammed by the commission agents.

    Poor Indians were not ready for this attack by their own jumla govt.

    Arre ......
    In Congress meetings and in hushed tones ,members speak.about how serious a player RaGa is in politics helping the BJP. The BJP really should not call Rahul names.
    Today I believe he said Demo.was done with a purpose to help Amazon also.
    Such A Gem ....has to be preserved by the Ruling Party to revive its fortune.
    Straightforward assessment.
