Gandhi family drunk with power, says BJP on Par disruption

Hitting out at Congress over washout of the Monsoon Session, BJP today said that the Gandhi family is "drunk with power" and it wants a Prime Minister who is either someone from their family or one who can be a puppet in their hands.
"The only family which is drunk with power is the family of Gandhis. They expect that the Prime Minister should either belong to their family or be a puppet whose strings can be pulled from 10 Janpath," BJP National Spokesman Sambit Patra told reporters here.
"Whenever this does not happen, the Congress family resorts to such (disruption of Parliament) kind of arrogance which the country is witnessing today", he said.

The BJP leader, however, praised the commitment of the Prime Minister in taking the economy forward amid the hurdles.
"Narendra Modi is working for 24 hours for progress and development of the country and this family (Gandhis) is working round the clock to stop him," he said.
Lambasting AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi for his comments that the PM has no guts to speak about the issues confronting the Parliament, he said, "I want to tell Rahul that the people of the country feel that he is not a man but a 'noose' for the country and for the Congress party (Rahul bandha nahi funda hai...).

"The way he does not allow GST bill to pass, he can say that he is really a noose for the country not a leader," he said.

Taking a further dig at the Oppostion, Patra said, "The experts say that 2 per cent of GDP has increased in the country. But the Gandhi family is thinking that if the GDP goes up by 2 or 3 per cent, the political GDP of Gandhi family will drop by 10 per cent".
Taking a serious note of the disruption of Parliament by Congress in the wake of the Lalitgate controversy and other corruption charges against BJP ministers, Patra maintained that there should be no arrogance on the part of the Opposition , who are in majority in the Rajya Sabha.

"Whatever incidents have taken place in the Rajya Sabha are of grave concern. We have to understand one thing clearly, that the mood of Rajya Sabha should change in accordance with the mood of the nation after 2014 LS elections.
"There should be no arrogance on the part of numbers. There should be no disturbance of Rajya Sabha on the plea that the ruling party is totally different 'ideologically' than the opposition", he said.
