Congress leader Digvijay Singh on Sunday criticised Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi over his criticism of the UPA government.
"Good to hear Modi talking about inclusive politics. But can a leopard change its spots?, Singh tweeted.
Reacting to Modi's claim that the growth rate was 8.4 per cent when NDA was in power but came down to 4.8 per cent during UPA's rule, he tweeted, "FEKU MODI at his best. Giving fake figures of growth during NDA regime."
He also challenged Modi to debate with any Congress leader on the issues of governance and development.
"UPA giving its report card every year on every issue. Would Modi pl get his team to look at the UPA Govt website instead of abusing ?," Singh he said
"The list can go on. Would Modi have courage to debate with one of us on issues of Governance Development and other National Issues?," he added.
He further tweeted that UPA had fulfilled all the promises that it made to the people.
"Empowered people by giving Rights on Information, Education,Food Security to Women Tribals and to Work," he tweeted.
Singh further took a dig at Modi and said that the BJP prime ministerial candidate only knows how to empower himself.
"Congress empowers YOU// Modi empowers HIMSELF ! Choice is your's !," he tweeted.
"Modi wants CONGRESS MUKT BHARAT AND WE WANT BHOOK MUKT BHARAT ! He backs PRIVILEGED Congress backs UNDERPRIVILEGED. Choice is yours!," he tweeted.
