Nadda alleged congress leader secretly met Chinese ambassador (File)
Guwahati:
Congress behaves “very irresponsibly” and weakens the morale of soldiers with its statements at a time when the country is in the middle of an impasse with China in Ladakh, BJP President JP Nadda said on Tuesday.
Speaking digitally to party workers in Assam from Delhi, Nadda said the BJP had always supported the government on national security issues while in opposition.
“It is sad that the opposition is only slinging mud. It is very irresponsible. We have also been in the opposition for a very long time, but we supported (Jawaharlal) Nehru in 1962, (Lal Bahadur) Shashtri in 1965 and Indira Gandhi in 1971.
“But now, you see. Kargil or Ladakh – they are only busy making mud. Congress lowers the morale of the soldiers with their statements,” he said.
Without naming anyone, Nadda alleged that a head of Congress had secretly met with the Chinese ambassador to India during the Doklam deadlock between the two neighbors.
In a tweet earlier, Nadda accused Congressman Rahul Gandhi of secretly going to the Chinese Embassy during the Doklam standoff.
“You ask for evidence of surgical strikes, air strikes – what is it?” How can a country run like this? We have to give them a decent answer (Congress) and our party workers have to expose them to the people, “he added.
The BJP chief said India was infamous on the world stage for corruption in the six decades since independence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi “completed the incomplete 60-year work in just six years. He has been able to bridge the 60-year gap in six years,” said Nadda.
“There was political paralysis. No one knew who the prime minister was – did he operate from 7 Race Course Road (Prime Minister’s official residence) or elsewhere,” Nadda said in an apparent reference to the chief of the Congress, Sonia Gandhi.
