This refers to the reports, “Sonia slams Modi Govt over communal violence” (August 13) and “Resist sectarian tendencies of Modi Govt” (August 14). In the past, Congress president Sonia Gandhi is known to have made several irresponsible statements against her main opponent Narendra Modi, whom she labelled ‘maut ka saudagar’, and also the BJP. Yet, even after suffering the consequences of her tirades, as the Congress’s performance in the general election stands proof, Ms Gandhi seems to have learnt nothing.
Her fondness for falsehood continues unabated. Otherwise, how could she accuse the NDA of engineering communal violence in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra within a few months of it coming to power at the CentreIJ How can she forget that Uttar Pradesh is being ruled by her ally, the Samajwadi Party, for the last two years, while a Congress-NCP coalition is at the helm in MaharashtraIJ Also, law and order is a State subject.
