Nadda slams RaGa's conduct, Cong leaders for 'duplicity, pettiness' amid Covid


New Delhi, May 11 (IANS): BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda in a letter to Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi lashed out at her party and said that in the fight against the pandemic the conduct of topmost Congress leaders, including their former President Rahul Gandhi will be remembered for its "duplicity and pettiness".

He also urged that the top echelons of the Congress would stop misleading people, creating false panic and even contradicting their stands just based on political considerations.

In a four page letter, Nadda wrote, "In this fight against the pandemic, the conduct of the topmost Congress leaders including former Congress President Rahul Gandhi will be remembered for duplicity and pettiness."

"Your party, under your leadership, is doing no favours to itself by opposing lockdowns and then demanding for the same, ignoring the Centre's advisories on the second wave of Covid and then saying they did not get any information, holding massive election rallies in Kerala causing a spike in Covid cases while grandstanding about election rallies elsewhere, supporting protests but speaking about following Covid guidelines," Nadda said.

The BJP chief pointed that even when the second wave was on the rise, Congress party leaders were happier being seen in super spreader political events in North India, where there was no regard for masks or social distancing. This is not the era when such information can be erased from public memory.

Lashing out at Rahul, Nadda said conduct of Rahul and other top leaders will be remembered for duplicity and pettiness. Nadda told Sonia that Congress is not doing any favours to itself by demanding lockdowns and then opposing the same, holding massive rallies in Kerala and grandstanding about rallies elsehwhere.

Nadda added that some states failed to track the rising cases. "Why are mortality rates so high in Punjab? These are questions you must ask your own Chief Ministers," Nadda said pointing fingers at Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh.

He mentioned that there are other aspects that also need greater thought for instance, the data from February and March would reveal which states failed to track the rising cases.

Pointing to the Union Government criticism for the Central Vista project by Congress, Nadda wrote, "Now, there is a new trend in the Congress party to put all the blame on the Central Vista project. I would like to remind you that the need for a new Parliament was raised as early as the UPA times."

He wrote that former Lok Sabha Speaker, Meira Kumar had underscored the need for a new Parliament building. "The Union Urban Development Minister has addressed a large number of other queries regarding the project. Yet, the Congress does not believe in facts. People are also contrasting the Congress' stand on Central Vista with the Chhattisgarh Government going ahead to build a new assembly complex," he wrote.

He further wrote, "I could go on about such follies but as said, our focus is solely on the pandemic and not on politics. My letter to you is not only as the President of another political party. I have also had the honour of serving of as India's Health Minister. I have seen at close quarters the sacrifices our medical staff make so that others are healthy. They risk their lives so that fellow Indians can unite with their families. "

"You must ask yourselves - in times as these, is your party's conduct weakening the morale of these Covid-warriors? Deliberately or otherwise, are your actions trying to weaken this fight against Covid-19?," he wrote.

Nadda said that the Congress tried to mock the efforts during development of the vaccine, then ridiculed it and created doubts in the minds of the people. "In a country with no recent history of vaccine hesitancy, Your party has the dubious record of actively trying to create, that too, in the middle of a once in a century pandemic," Nadda said to Sonia Gandhi.

Nadda assured that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's fight against Covid is driven by unwavering belief in principles of science, support to innovation, trust in our Covid warriors and cooperative federalism.

"I assure you that the Government of India will continue being proactive so that we defeat the virus and get ahead with economic as well as social empowerment," Nadda told Sonia Gandhi.

    Why Mr. Nadda started taking Rahul Gandhi seriously. They were calling him Pappu etc. Is Nadda feeling guilty for his failures and putting the blame on others. The government first banned the import of vaccines or manufacturing of the other vaccines and insisted on the SII and BB only. When they were not getting enough and people started dying started blaming RAGA . Now we have cow dung medicine to be used and fake Remedivir (old bottles filled with salt and sugar) as vaccines. Great !

    Nadda sir, your Govt dont have empathy towards peoples of India. You people scientifically failed our country and giving lectures to opoosition. If you want to stop opposition listen to them and at least stop central vista project right away and the amount allocated to that amount give to poor and lockdown for 20days and stop corona spreading. You people are speaking about rallies of congress and other events like farmer protest, you dont have moral right to speak like that. First of all you are in Govt and you have the right to stop and begin anything for the betterment of people. simply blaming opposition and their suggestions nothing bring nothing

    The Prime Minister has completely failed to provide a sense of safety, direction or leadership during this massive human crisis we are facing. The lack of planning and preparation between the first and the second wave is the worst act of negligence of an incompetent government. The ruling BJP has no moral right to remain in power because it has "completely failed" to provide the basic fundamental right to the citizens of the country, "The entire country is in shock waves with reports coming from all across the nation of Covid patients dying due to the non-availability of oxygen. The BJP government has completely failed to provide the 'right to life' to the citizens of India,"

    Nadda, PM & HM are a bunch of senseless beings who fail to understand the sane voice of the opposition. After facilitating the spread of the pandemic through electioneering, and kumb mela, they are now justifying their actions on the central vista project which is a colossal waste and a drain on the exchequer. When the money could have been used for building hospitals in Taluk headquarters and providing required infrastructure in the District hospitals these brainless fellows still feel politicking is the best way to solve the pandemic related problems that have caused unprecedented misery to the people of the country. Mr Nadda would do well to go to Bihar and tell his party guys to burn the dead bodies thrown in the River Ganges and do some act of mercy. The Ambulance covered and kept for want of drivers is another failure of the Nitish - BJP government in Bihar. Let Nadda address these issues instead of unnecessarily targeting the opposition and deflecting from the real problems in the country.
