Senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley on Friday took a dig at the Congress for sidelining party vice-president Rahul Gandhi in the election campaign.
“The eclipse of Rahul Gandhi as the de facto prime ministerial candidate of the Congress is virtually complete. When he was not seen as being able to deliver, the mother stepped in. The focus has now shifted to the sister,” he wrote in his blog.
“Ostensibly intended to attack Narendra Modi daily in somewhat impolite language, the sister has succeeded in robbing the brother from being in the limelight. Attack Modi was the strategy but ‘dilute Rahul’ is the consequence. Kahin pe nigahen, kahin pe nishana. Having pushed the brother out of the frame the sister has to realise that there is much more in politics and the country than only ‘our family,” Jaitley said.
