In yet another stinging attack against the Narendra Modi government, Congress President Rahul Gandhi today said that, ' the BJP operates on the basic idea that lies can be used for political benefit and it is the difference between us and them.'
Addressing the party members on the 133rd Foundation Day of the Congress at the party headquarters in New Delhi on Thursday, Gandhi said that his party may suffer or lose elections but would not give up truth.
He also attacked the government over the Constitution row. “The Constitution, the foundation of our country is under threat, it is under attack directly, statements are being made by senior members of BJP and it is under attack surreptitiously from the back and its our duty, duty of Congress party and every single Indian to defend it,' Gandhi said.
Keeping up the ante against the government, Gandhi said, 'What is happening today in or country is a web of deceit, The BJP operates on the basic idea that lies can be used for political benefit and it is the difference between us and them, we might not do well, we might even lose but we will not give up the truth.”
He also highlighted the Congress's "glorious" history, claiming the central idea of the party was truth and "we will continue to fight for it".
The remarks by the Congress president comes a day after his swipe at the Modi government hours after the BJP and the Congress reached a truce in Parliament.
"Dear Mr Jaitlie (sic) -- thank you for reminding India that our PM never means what he says or says what he means," Gandhi tweeted, using a hashtag "BJPLies".
The Congress president also attached with his tweet a video of the prime minister's speech at a poll rally in which he made the "conspiracy with Pakistan" remarks against Singh, along with Jaitley's statement made in the House. In Rajya Sabha, Finance Minister Jaitley said Modi in his statements and speeches, "did not question nor did he mean to question the commitment to this nation either by Dr Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister, or Hamid Ansari, the former vice president."
