BJP is playing dirty politics: Congress spokesperson Singhvi
Bangalore: “BJP is playing dirty politics by raking up
sensitive defence issues and spreading false information against Congress ahead of Lok Sabha polls,” Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu
Singhvi alleged during a press meet on Tuesday March 18.
Singhvi also stated that Congress could also resort to a counter
attack by asking the BJP as to how intruders were allowed to enter India in 1999 during the Kargil war when the NDA was in power. But,
the Congress has not done so and we are not going to do it over defence
matters, he added.
Further he said that if statistics are taken into consideration, then states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana are in the first position in some parameters like human development index or economic growth while Gujarat was in sixth or seventh. “This clearly shows the deceit of Modi," he added.
Lastly Singhvi said that the people have to decide which government performed better and vote accordingly. During the press meet Congress chief G Parameshwar also addressed the meeting.
