Congress today accused the BJP of making 'U-turn' on the issue of full statehood for Delhi by giving a "complete go bye" to it in the just released 'Vision Document'.
The only thing that BJP's Vision Document lacks is 'Vision', party spokesman Randeep Surajewala said claiming that the document has "neither content nor intent."
"It is a caricature of empty rhetoric, brazen falsehood and lofty words stated with a deceptive impunity, symbolic of BJP's character," he said.
Besides, he felt that a "hurriedly cobbled" and released document in place of a regular manifesto reflects the "all round fear, frustration and divisions within the BJP ranks."
Claiming that the BJP's document reflect its bitter internal dissension as also absence of any issues, Surajewala expressed surprise it giving "a complete go bye" to the most important issue of full Statehood for Delhi.
BJP had raised the issue of full Statehood for Delhi fearlessly and as its pitched slogan in the last two Assembly elections as also in the Lok Sabha elections.
"On assuming power at the Centre, it has taken a U-turn again on this important paradigm", he added.
