In a lacerating comeback, Union minister Prakash Javadekar listed out Rahul Gandhi’s “achievements” over the last six months to counter what the former Congress chief called the Centre’s “achievements” in the time of coronavirus.
Launching a counter-offensive, the minister found fault with Gandhi tweeting daily, prophesying that the Congress will be reduced to a party that only tweets. Gandhi, on a daily basis, has been challenging the Centre’s narrative on various issues and raising questions.
Asking the Congress MP to take note, the information minister, answering in identical fashion as Gandhi’s tweet, listed out six “achievements” of the 50-year-old leader.
The list went like this:
Feb: Shaheen Bagh & riots
March: Losing [Jyotiraditya] Scindia and MP government
April: Instigating labourers
May: 6th anniversary of historic poll defeat [Congress]
June: Advocating for China
July: Party [Congress] destroyed in Rajasthan
Going further, the BJP leader then asked the Congress leader to also note the country’s achievements in “war against coronavirus”.
“India has the least average cases, active cases and death rate than the US, Europe and Brazil. By making fun of candle lights, RahulGandhi ji you have insulted the people of India and brave Corona warriors,” said the minister.
The torrents of criticism followed Rahul Gandhi highlighting priorities of the central government amid the fight against the coronavirus pandemic raging in the country.
