BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav Sunday said the Congress might win an election in Pakistan if it contests from there as the opposition party is “banking on lies” and the neighbouring country.

Addressing a press conference here, Madhav also claimed that the statements of the Congress leaders are retweeted more by the people of Pakistan than their counterparts in India.

“Their comments are more retweeted and publicised by the people of the neighbouring country than our own. The Congress might win an election in Pakistan if it contests from there. This is the condition of our main Opposition party,” the BJP leader said.

“The Congress does not have any issue to really take on our Government, our leader and our party. It is banking on lies and Pakistan,” the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.

Pointing out that the Congress is fighting a “clueless battle”, Madhav said, “Nobody in the country is understanding what it wants to say and in which direction it wants to take the country. The people are also not understanding if the Congress is fighting for India or Pakistan.”

Alleging that the Congress leaders are “doubting” the credentials of the Indian Army, the senior BJP leader said the opposition party was not only questioning the success of the BJP-led government, but also making “derogatory remarks” about the Army.

When asked about the allegation of former Karnataka chief minister BS Yeddyurappa allegedly paying a bribe of Rs 1,800 crore to top BJP leaders, Madhav said, “It is bogus news...the Congress has no issue today to confront us and it is only banking on lies.”

“And when was it distributed? In 2011. Was Congress party sleeping then when they were in government? The slip was accessed from the house of a Congress leader,” he added.

“On the contrary, some good cartoons are being made on the Congress. All these negative campaigns of the Congress are useful for making good memes and cartoons in social media. Other than that, there is no impact on the public,” he added.
