Opposition abusing Modi shows desperation: BJP

Slamming the opposition for using abusing language for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP said this only shows their sheer desperation and hatred for a leader, before whom they stand no chance to win public confidence.

Talking to the media here on Wednesday, Union Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Prakash Javadekar said the desperate Congress is also hurling casteist abuses on the Prime Minister, and the more Congress hurls abuses, the more seats party will win.

Calling the Congress a party of lies, Javadekar said: "Besides abusing the Prime Minister, the Congress is also speaking lies and today (Wednesday) Congress President Rahul Gandhi had to apologise to the Supreme Court for speaking lies in the name of Supreme Court."

"We have leadership, country's security and development as our plank and what they have is only abuses," the BJP leader added.

Accusing the Congress of indulging in scams, the BJP leader said that with CWG, 2G, Jijaji, Coal, Augusta, Antriksh and Bofors Pundoobbi, the Congress has looted everything. "The party stands for loots and lies."

Targeting the party, Javadekar said the Congress under former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi justified the genocide of Sikhs, made worst communal compromise under Shah Bano's decision, made a botched up operation in Sri Lanka of Shanti Sena, Quattrocchi received money and was also allowed to flee.

The BJP campaign is positive and raising relevant issues, while the Congress is exhibiting its political bankruptcy, the BJP leader added.
