New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday hit out at BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi accusing him of deliberately misinterpreting facts and called him “spinmaster”.
Union minister and senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said that Priyanka never made any such insinuation and that she was only referring to the BJP’s “low-level” politics. “Mr Modi knows that he is misinterpreting. He does it purposefully. That is Narendra Modi. He will give it a spin that has nothing to do with fact,” Mr Sibal said.
Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi alleged that the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate was indulging in “caste politics” in his desperate attempt to garner votes.
“It is unfortunate that he distorted Priyanka Gandhi’s comments for political mileage. In the BJP, whether one belongs to upper caste or lower caste, all of them are doing low-level politics,” Mr Alvi said.
Former Punjab chief minister, Capt. Amarinder Singh, lashed out at senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley for his comments against Priyanka Gandhi.
Capt. Singh said Mr Jaitley, who is his opponent in the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat, should better introspect about his own attitude that smacks of high headedness and sheer arrogance than pass judgment on others.
The Congress leader furthur added he had known both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka since their childhood and both of them are known for their friendliness and highly affable manners.
