Describing Congress media head Divya Spandana’s derogatory comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the “arrogance of dynasty”, the BJP on Wednesdaysought to assert that instead of the bird’s droppings, “it is the values of the Congress that are dropping.”
The BJP lash out came after Congress’ social media head Divya Spandana tweeted a controversial comment along with a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi standing next to Sardar Patel’s 182 meter tall ‘Statue of Unity’, with the comment: “Is that bird dropping?”
“@BJP4India Ummm no, it is the values of the Congress that are dropping. Historical disdain for Sardar Patel + Pathological dislike for @narendramodi = Such language. Clearly, @RahulGandhi’s politics of ‘love’! ,” said BJP’s official Twitter handle.
Asked about the tweet, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra lashed out at the Opposition party saying that “this is the real culture” of the Congress.
They miss no opportunity to abuse the Prime Minister of India, he said.
“It is the same party which called the Prime Minister ‘neech’. Shashi Tharoor called him a scorpion and now Divya Spandana says that he is a bird’s dropping,” Patra said.
“This is nothing but language of arrogance from the Congress for the normal Indian who with his sheer hardwork becomes the Prime Minister of the country,” he said, adding a normal Indian appears bird’s dropping to them, while a dynast is power centre for them.
“This is arrogance of dynasty which is abusing the democracy of India,” he alleged.
Despite criticism from the ruling party and Twitterati, Spandana remained defiant.
“When you’re done huffing & puffing take a breath & hold a mirror to yourselves. My views are mine. I don’t give two hoots about yours. I’m not going to clarify what I meant and what I didn’t cos you don’t deserve one,” she tweeted.
