BJP leader Arun Jaitley Wednesday hit out at the Congress and asked under which category of politics would the "corruption in 2G spectrum and coal block allocation fall" while retaliating against Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's "neech rajniti" barb against Narendra Modi.

"I wonder in which category of politics or rajneeti will corruption in 2G spectrum, and coal block allocation fall? Will the cash for votes and Adarsh scams be considered as shudh rajneeti (pure politics)," Jaitley blogged.

Jaitley's comments follow Priyanka's "neech rajniti" (low-level politics) barb against BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

Priyanka attacked Modi Monday saying he had insulted her "martyred" father Rajiv Gandhi, and that the Congress workers in Amethi would give a befitting reply to his "low-level politics".

Jaitley added that Congress leaders have used various adjectives like "chaiwala", "gangu teli", "neech rajneeti" and "Hitler" against Modi and yet found nothing wrong in referring to him like that.
