Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ravi Shankar Prasad on Sunday said that Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's interviews make him appear like a nursery student.

"Rahul Gandhi's interviews make him appear like a nursery student. All his interviews are based on lies. The Supreme Court saw the integrity of the investigation of Gujarat riots and still Rahul Gandhi does not believe in the court's verdict," said Ravi Shankar Prasad.

"He is silent on the riots sponsored by Congress. They don't have any answers on which the elections are going to fought upon stinking corruption, lack of growth, inflation etc. He is trying to divert people from all these," he said.

"Rahul Gandhi and Congress don't have an answer for the mess they have created," he added.

Rahul Gandhi in an interview to PTI today demanded "legal accountability" for the "clear and inexcusable failure" of governance during the 2002 Gujarat riots and dismissed talk of clean chit to Modi as "politically expedient" but "far too premature".

He also said that the BJP seeks to "suppress large numbers of India's ideas" and wanted "an India in which power is centralised in the hands of individuals. It is a clash between these two ideas of India.
