Union Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani on Tuesday said Congress President Sonia Gandhi's 'Hawabaazi' remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, indicated their own failures and their desire to hide it.
"Today the Congress President took the help of the PM's name to guide her failed organisation in order to hide the failure of the policies of a failed organisational leadership," Irani told media here.
"Congress leaders fighting for farmers today, often forget that in Rahul Gandhi's constituency (Amethi), lands of farmers were usurped," she added.
"Give me the name of a mother who pats the back of her son for taking the land of poor farmers," she said.
She said the Congress Party wants to put nation's development on the backfoot.
