Taking a swipe at Rahul Gandhi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that the Congress President works with a negative mindset and is responsible for party's defeat.
Yogi Adityanath made the comment after casting his vote for Gorakhpur by-poll. He was reacting to Rahul Gandhi's remarks over demonetisation.
"People will throw away his (Rahul) appeal. Wherever he goes Congress is decimated because he works with a negative mindset," said Yogi.
Rahul Gandhi should introspect why the party is losing. They have lost several states and now, Karnataka will also go from them, the Chief Minister added.
During his visit to Malaysia, when asked how he would have rolled out demonetisation differently, Gandhi said: "if I was the Prime Minister and somebody would have given me a file with demonetisation written on it, I would thrown it in the dustbin, out of the door and into the junkyard."
"That is how I would have rolled it out, because that is what I think should have been done with the demonetisation which was not good at all," he said in a video shared by the Congress party on its Twitter handle.
The demonetisation initiative was rolled out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 8, 2016, announcing the invalidation of high-value currency notes currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000.
Congress party has strongly criticised demonetisation, saying the move has led to economic slowdown.
After casting the vote Yogi Adityanath also said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would win the bypolls with a big margin.
Parliamentary constituencies of Gorakhpur and Phulpur are witnessing bye-elections after Adityanath and Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya vacated their seats, respectively, on taking offices of the state government.
The people would not vote for the "opportunistic" alliance of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Samajwadi Party (SP), who have set aside their rivalry to join hands in the bypoll for the two constituencies, the chief minister told mediapersons outside a polling booth.
