BJP also asked Congress to have patience for "wrongs" committed during its rule to be undone and suggested it to utilise the time for introspection about its future.
"There is nothing substantial in the booklet. They are trying to trivialize by quoting from here and there, reported and purported speeches. We have just come to government. Give us some time. Have some patience...Don't trivialize issues...
He said though BJP respects the opposition which has every right to criticise the government, it should not criticise merely by trivializing issues but get media space for some good things.
"They have not learnt lessons from their (electoral) defeat. They are only trying to create some space in the media. They should get space for good things," he said.
Naidu, a senior BJP leader, said the opposition has every right to generate genuine public debate but the issues raised need to be of substantial public inportance.
"They should seriously ponder on what went wrong. Should utilise this precious time, do some introspection and try to find out the reasons for this position and then make demands ...They tried to trivialize the black money issue. They tried to make fun of Jan Dhan scheme," he said.
