BJP on Tuesday described Rahul Gandhi as a failed dynast and failed politician after the Congress Vice President defended dynastic politics during a public event in the United States. Briefing media in New Delhi, party leader and Union Minister Smriti Irani attacked him saying Mr. Gandhi’s admission that the Congress had turned arrogant since 2012 is a reflection on Sonia Gandhi’s leadership. She said, a failed dynast today chose to speak about his failed political journey in the US.
The Minister said Mr Gandhi’s remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP are not surprising. She added that the people of the country where he leads a political party no longer support him so he is expressing his pain abroad.
Earlier, in his speech to students at University of California in Berkeley, Rahul Gandhi criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of divisive politics and causing damage to India’s economy with decisions like demonetization and GST.
