NEW DELHI: Slamming Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his speech at the Congress plenary, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad today said “rampant lies” have become the “hallmark” of the new Congress president.
Gandhi, who became party president in December, said yesterday that the BJP, like the Kauravas, fought for power, while his party, on the lines of the Pandavas, battled for truth. He also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of symbolising crony capitalism and called BJP president Amit Shah a “murder accused”.
“Rampant lies, falsehood, and shameful parading of lies have become the hallmark of the new Congress president Mr Rahul Gandhi. We thought after becoming president, he will be a little modest,” Prasad told reporters outside Parliament.
The senior BJP leader and Law and Justice Minister also questioned Gandhi’s “arrogance” after getting a “zero in Nagaland and Tripura assembly polls and losing deposit in Phulpur and Gorakhpur”. (AGENCIES)
