"Pathological Hatred For PM": BJP Tears Into Congress's '9 Questions'
NDTV
"These are not questions arising out of criticism, which they have a right to do, but are the result of a pathological hatred towards Narendra Modi," Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
The BJP, armed with official growth figures, came all guns blazing against the Congress's nine questions for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his nine-year tenure at the Centre. Calling them "a bundle of lies and a mountain of deception", former minister and top BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad today said he first thought of ignoring it, but it's such a "big pack of lies" that he felt it necessary to set the record straight.
"These questions, full of frustration, have emerged out of Congress's hatred for PM Modi. These are not questions arising out of criticism, which they have a right to do, but are the result of a pathological hatred towards Narendra Modi," Mr Prasad said.
They (Congress) have questioned Covid "mismanagement", the former union minister fumed, terming it "not just a lie, but the height of Congress's shamelessness".
They have questioned the lockdown as well, even when the entire world accepts that India's Covid management was the best, he said, citing various government efforts to contain the pandemic. He said the grand old party is free to criticise, but questioned why it was "weakening India's resolve" using that.
