NEW DELHI: Continuous electoral setbacks for Congress have left its chief Mallikarjun Kharge ideologically bankrupt, BJP president J P Nadda said on Sunday, claiming that the opposition party’s “terrorists” barb at his party was born out of its desperation to protect its “failed product”, a subtle jibe at Rahul Gandhi.
India’s oldest party has come to such a sorry state that one feels pained, Nadda said in a statement, adding that Kharge should rather introspect people’s falling trust in Congress and why it loses (polls) so frequently.People know which party supports anti-national forces, urban Naxals and those trying to defame the country, he added.
Nadda’s rebuttal came a day after Kharge called BJP a “party of terrorists”, in an apparent counter to PM Modi’s recent characterisation of Congress as an organisation run by urban Naxals.
Kharge’s comments reflect frustration and ideological bankruptcy, Nadda said.
