The daily ping-pong trading of charges between the ruling BJP and the Congress continued uninterrupted on Tuesday when Union Minster Prakash Javadekar lashed out at the latter for making random criticism of the Modi-Government and claimed that Congress was losing a leader a month would soon become a “party of tweets” as it is doing no work among people.
Javadekar said the anti-CAA Shaheen Bagh protests and Delhi riots were the Congress’s “achievements” in February followed by desertion of Jyotiraditya Scindia and loss of power in Madhya Pradesh in March, and “incitement” of migrants in April and “May: 6th anniversary of the historic defeat of the Congress” followed by June “Defending China” by Congress witnessing in July its “virtual collapse in Rajasthan”, he said. Congress leader Sachin Pilot’s “rebellion” against the Ashok Gehlot Government has triggered a serious crisis in the State government.
“Rahul Baba note India’s achievements in ‘war against #Corona’. India has the least average cases, active cases and death rate than the US, Europe and Brazil. By making fun of candle lights, @RahulGandhi ji you have insulted the people of India & brave Corona warriors,” tweeted senior BJP leader and claimed the consequences that befall the opposition party.
In a swipe at Rahul Gandhi over his regular tweets attacking the Central Government, Javadekar said the Congress would soon become a “party of tweets” as it is doing no work among people and “losing” one leader after another.
“A frustrated and depressed party is trying to launch all sorts of attacks on the Government,” he said.
“People are standing with Modi. The Congress has become helpless,” Javadekar added.
Rahul had earlier said that attempts to topple Congress Government in Rajasthan and the “Namaste Trump” events were Modi-Government’s “achievements” even as a major coronavirus pandemic is still underway in the country.
The former Congress leader had month-wise listed “achievements” of the BJP which also included “toppling” of Madhya Pradesh Congress Government, making people “light candles” and BJP’s “virtual rallies” in the poll-bound Bihar.
Javadekar said Prime Minister’s call to light candle was as much to motivate people as also to pay respect to “corona warriors”.
