Accusing the Congress Party of indulging in vendetta politics and blame-game, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday questioned the former's role in Punjab when it was in power from 2002 to 2007.
He alleged that the Congress instigated different groups in Punjab to stand against each other.
"In their time, the Congress did nothing but lately there has been a surge in number of Central Government's educational institutions in Punjab," he said while addressing Bharatiya Janata Party's Vijay Sankalp Yatra Rally in Amritsar.
Jaitley said that no government had the guts to cross the Line of Control (LoC) for the country's security or make such a huge attack on black money and corruption.
