BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said the former Congress president’s speech at her party’s plenary session in Nava Raipur reeked of desperation and lacked the realisation as to why the opposition party’s appeal has become so limited.
Modi govt does not control institutions, allegations by Sonia Gandhi baseless: Ravi Shankar Prasad
“If the people of the country don’t vote for Congress, then why should she blame the Election Commission,” the former Union minister, adding that Sonia and her party are unwilling to recognise the “stark fact” that under PM Modi’s leadership, all sections of society — be it Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, women or the middle class— have received the fruits of development. It happened because of honest governance and delivery, he further said.
Echoing his views, BJP chief spokesperson Anil Baluni said the Congress conclave symbolises its “despair,negativity and ill-will”. Congress has become the country’s “dark spot” while India has become the world’s “bright spot” under Modi’s leadership, he said.
Repeated rejections by people have taken the opposition party to the depths of despair,Baluni added.
Prasad said people also recall the rampant corruption, crony capitalism and promotion of family rule under the previous Congress dispensations which have led the party to its present miserable position. “There is no honest introspection at the Congress meet,” he said. He said Sonia’s charges were uncalled for and unwarranted. “What she alleged was totally baseless and utterly reprehensible,” he added.
Congress came to power in states like Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh in elections overseen by the EC, he noted, claiming that the party will lose power there too.
Prasad said people trust Modi because of his governance and the way he has ensured the safety and security of the country and its citizens. “India today has become a very well-recognized global power, being respected by all,” he said.Watch Sonia Gandhi should introspect: Ravi Shankar Prasad
