New Delhi, Oct 4 (UNI) The Congress today flayed the BJP for “repeatedly blaming” it (Congress) for their own shortcomings and accused the ruling party of bringing international embarrassment to India.
Congress general secretary KC Venugopal in a post on X said, “The BJP’s habit is to blame the Congress for its own failures bringing us international shame. Whether it is in Colombia or Kanpur, the reality remains the same – India’s government has failed to harness the vast potential of our economy and is undoing our demographic dividend”.
The party further alleged that the BJP’s actions have compromised the country’s democratic framework, causing a loss of respect on the global stage. “Our democratic system being hijacked is a matter that has brought us disrepute across the world, courtesy the BJP itself,” he added.
He termed the BJP’s attacks on Rahul Gandhi as “stale, hackneyed, and misdirected”.
Venugopal said, “It is a stale, hackneyed and misdirected tactic by the BJP ecosystem to attack Rahul ji for speaking plainly. It would serve them better if they paid close attention to his statements and acted to rectify the glaring flaws he has been highlighting since 2014”.
The Alappuzha MP also said that, before and even after becoming Prime Minister, Narendra Modi used his foreign visits to criticize the Congress and, at times, insult India and its people.
“Let us not forget, before he became PM and for many year after – Narendra Modi used his foreign visits to not only attack the Congress, but insulted India and its people. It is therefore plain hypocrisy for the BJP to now question Rahul ji, for merely exposing the misrule, corruption and undemocratic character of the BJP,” he said.
