Congress defends Rahul over 'Chowkidar chor hai' jibe


New Delhi, Apr 23 (IANS): The Congress on Tuesday defended party chief Rahul Gandhi over his "Chowkidar chor hai" jibe aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying it was a mere political slogan and the party never intended to attribute it to an earlier Supreme Court order.

"Rahul Gandhi and other political leaders have been using this political slogan in the past. We never intended to attribute it to an earlier Supreme Court order," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said.

He accused Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party of politicising the Rafale jet issue.

Noting that the party had urged the apex court to drop the case, Singhvi said the Congress had submitted a detailed explanation before it but will file an additional explanation, if needed.

    Having failed in all their attempts with the use of CBI, ED, CAG and the Income Tax, the BJP is using the Supreme Court to browbeat the Congress President.

    The BJP must realise that all these crude attempts will not change the public perception that Chowkidar Chor Hai nor will it in any way affect the outome of the elections which is a foregone conclusion of a total white wash for the BJP.

    Desperate last bid efforts to salvage their losses.

    That Rahul has been served with a CONTEMPT NOTICE...and that this hearing is posted to April 30
    has not been revealed here.
    The SC has specifically asked Singhvi..Who is Chowkidar?...For which these people had no explanation...
    It means that this guy's legal troubles are not over yet...
    The slogan has boomeranged with an egg on the President's face...and as is his wont he's trying to make an Omelette out of it...
