"BJP leaders during elections criticised the schemes and programmes of UPA government... And tried to defame the UPA government. But now what the Modi government is doing... The government is just adopting our programmes," Gurudas Kamat, AICC general secretary and in charge of the party affairs in Rajasthan, here said.
He alleged that the saffron party misled the people by making false promises to them to come to power.
Kamat, while addressing the party leaders and workers, also targeted former CAG Vinod Rai over his estimate of loss of Rs 1.76 lakh crore to exchequer during the UPA government and said he might be given some post by the (NDA) government.
"BJP gave post-retirement job to former CAG T N Chaturvedi who was made the Rajya Sabha member and later Governor. Vinod Rai has also been retired and now it will come to know that what he is going to be in coming days," he said.
"Vote percentage of ruling BJP in Gujarat also came down on seats from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to be elected," the Congress leader said.
The Party's victory on three seats in Rajasthan was encouraging and could be possible as all leaders of the party, except some, were together and made hard efforts, Kamat said.
"I would not say that all leaders were united. There are some leaders who are compelled to do something as per their habits and they did in the bypolls too, but most of the leaders and workers, almost 99 per cent, were united and could make the victory possible," he said without naming anyone.
