Seeking to turn the tables on the Congress vice president over his charge that Modi practises TRP politics and suffers from arrogance and incompetence, BJP said these are in reality his attributes as he did "photo-op" politics and had even rejected his government's decision, a sign of his arrogance.
"Rahul Gandhi himself suffers from arrogance and incompetence. Had he been not incapable, the UPA government would not have suffered from policy paralysis, committed scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore and brought India a bad name. He is the biggest symbol of non-serious and negative politics in the country," its National Secretary Shrikant Sharma said in a statement.
Taking a dig, Sharma said Gandhi is out on bail in a case of Rs 5000 crore corruption, a reference to National Herald case.
Under Modi, the country is progressing fast and progress of villages, the poor and farmers is his only goal, he said.
Congress has "betrayed" people by "siding" with those with black money and fake currency, he said, a reference to the party's protests following demonetisation.
