New Delhi: Calling Congress president Rahul Gandhi a “megalomaniac, “ having a “self-illusory opinion” and a “sense of entitlement”, Union minister Arun Jaitley on Friday said the Congress leader’s “revenge” against Prime Minister Narendra Modi may not succeed, but can turn out against his own party.
Taking on the Congress president for his reported remark that he has “dismantled Modi’s image”, the senior BJP leader, in a blogpost, asked how will he “damage the reputation” of the PM who is “incredibly honest, is at the peak of his popularity, whose personal acceptability is high and is the greatest communicators of his time”.
“Dynasts have self-illusory opinion about themselves. They create a disproportionate image about their own abilities in their own mind and believe that the universe around them thinks alike. They tend to become megalomaniacs. Rahul Gandhi is no exception,” wrote Mr Jaitley in the blog titled “A dynast’s non-existent revenge against the man who defeated him in 2014”.
Describing Mr Modi as the “greatest communicators of his times”, Mr Jaitley said Mr Gandhi, who has a “disproportio-nate impression about his oratorical skills” had challenged the PM for a public debate.
