NEW DELHI: Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi over his "dalali" barb at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP on Thursday called his remarks "a new low in Indian politics".
The BJP said Rahul Gandhi was speaking in "frustration" as the Prime Minister was drawing "praise" after he gave nod to the Army to carry out the surgical strikes.
"It is most shameful. Such remarks reflect his mental bankruptcy. The Army and the Prime Minister are getting praise from everywhere for the surgical strikes. Modi is being praised for his decision and he is unable to digest it. Rahul Gandhi is in frustration," BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
Another party national secretary Sidharth Nath Singh said, "His statement is a new low in Indian politics. It is not only condemnable but highly irresponsible coming from the vice president of the Congress party which fought for Independence ... Surgical strikes happened across the LoC but Rahul Gandhi has done surgical strike on his party."
Taking a jibe at Gandhi, Sharma said "dalali" is in his and Congress's nature as he referred to a number of alleged scams, like 2G, CWG, coal, involving the UPA government, which, he added, ran into 12 lakh crore.
Gandhi too is on bail in the National Herald scam of Rs 5000 crore, he alleged.
