the Gandhi family one of its prominent member and senior BJP leader Maneka Gandhi on Thursday said that neither Sonia Gandhi’s son Rahul nor his sister Priyanka can save Congress.
Coming down heavily on the ruling party, Maneka said, “Congress party has looted the country in the past ten years. People are so fed with the Congress rule that they are not going to vote for the party in the next elections.”
Speaking to a private TV news channel, the senior BJP leader called Congress a sinking ship and said, “No body can now save Congress. Corruption and scams hav badly tarnished the party’s image badly and its leaders have constantly looted an cheated the nation in all these years. Congress is such a situation that no one not even Rahul Gandhi nether his sister Priyanka can save their party.”
When she was reminded that even the Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has lauded Rahul’s outstanding potential, the BJP leader said, “I want to ask if the person who said all this has really served as the Prime Minister of the country. The whole country knows that both Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi has kept the reins of power in their own hands. So what difference it will make as who is now given what responsibility.
Congress has been projecting Rahul Gandhi for the past ten years, what happened? The situation is so worse for the party that even Priyanka Gandhi’s glamour can’t save Congress party now.”’
Finally when asked to react on the comparisons being made between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, she said, “Rahul is no match for Modi ji. It is like a battle between a lion and a bird. Modi Ji is an elected leader with huge experience while Rahul has failed on all fronts.
