Nadda's letter to Sonia Gandhi sign of arrogance: Congress


New Delhi, May 11 (IANS): The Congress on Tuesday accused the BJP of being "arrogant", soon after BJP President J.P. Nadda shot off a letter to interim party chief Sonia Gandhi, and said that raising issues and making suggestions to the government on the pandemic is the duty of the opposition parties.

In his letter to interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Nadda lashed out at her party saying that in the fight against the pandemic, the conduct of topmost Congress leaders, including its former chief Rahul Gandhi, will be remembered for its "duplicity and pettiness".

Addressing a press conference here, Congress General Secretary Ajay Maken said the situation in the country is pathetic as dead bodies were seen floating in the Ganga river in Bihar's Buxar district on Monday.

"The government is unable to provide treatment, vaccines and even honorable last rites to the deceased," Maken said, as he asked the government shed the arrogance and help the people.

The party said the BJP should follow ‘Rajdharma' as the Congress is only doing its duty and the government should accept its mistake in handling the pandemic and start free vaccination for all. The Congress also reiterated its demand for an all-party meeting on the Covid situation.

Rejecting the saffron party's charge of doing politics at the time of crisis, Maken said that it is the BJP which wants to make it political as the letters written by the Congress leaders were addressed to the Prime Minister, and not the BJP President.

"It's not a case of BJP vs Congress, it's the people who are suffering. The opposition is only showing the way to the government, but the government is trying to give it a political colour," Maken said.

Attacking Nadda, Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill said in a tweet, "Instead of writing accusatory letter to the Congress, Nadda should write an apology letter on behalf of the BJP for pushing the nation into hell fire of Covid-19 second wave."

In his letter to Sonia Gandhi, Nadda also said that the top leaders of the Congress should stop misleading the people by creating false panic and by contradicting their stands based on just political considerations.

In the four-page letter, Nadda said, "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.

    Nadda can best be called in Kannada a "DADDA" and a "PEDDAH". What can you expect from this clown of the BJP Parliamentary Party Circus.

    Arrogance only divides the country. At this difficult time of death & suffering BJP leaders are showing arrogance ,& insult to opp Party suggestions, This is uncalled for from a party leader. Some of BJP leaders have no sympathy for the millions who lost their family members. Never seen such attitude in the last 40 years from past ruling govts . This whole tragedy could have been avoided if govt worked with all parties including congress.

    Politics is necessary but it should be for the nations benefit and upliftment of the people. Wish the Vadra Congress gives a helping hand to uplift the mood of the people constructively and not indulge in cheap politics at the cost of the peoples lives. Think the divide and rule the congress continued since independence should be stopped accross all sectors. Its not difficult to build India as a superpower if all parties put their selfish and personal agenda behind and work towards one goal towards the nation, which obviously the West and Chinese would try their best to pull it behind.

    This has been the norm of the bjp govt right from 2014. Power has gone to their head and it is so apparent in their actions. They arrest or brand anyone anti national or even use every state machinery to weed out any kind of opposition. They will not survive for a long time because their mistakes have started costing them very dearly. This is the most intolerant govt that ever existed. This is not the bjp Vajapayeeji dreamt of.

    What are Nadda's accomplishments other than being a spokesperson for BJP ? Most of the time he is not to be seen.

    If J.P Nadda writes a open letter to all Indians is better than writing a letter to opposition parties. There is no doubt that the ruling party has failed in Covid Management in all angles.
