Modiphobia is apparent in speech, says BJP

Terming Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s address to Indian industry as “confusion confounded”, the main Opposition BJP on Wednesday claimed “Modiphobia” was clearly visible in his comments.
Describing Mr Gandhi’s speech as “lacklustre” and without any direction or clarity, the BJP said it exemplified the “deep crisis” within the Congress. But the Congress brushed aside the comparison of Mr Gandhi with Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and said only those interested in propping up the BJP leader indulged in such acts. The ruling party said Mr Gandhi spoke about the need to bring the poor and the marginalised into the political process and in his speech people heard what they have wanted to for long.
The BJP said that instead of answering questions on issues, like price-rise, governance, corruption and terrorism, that confront the common man, Mr Gandhi raised questions instead.
Attacking Mr Gandhi for his talk of empowering the Gram Pradhans, the BJP said the Congress in the past nine years has disempowered the Prime Minister and this has led to a growing crisis.
BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar said Mr Gandhi was a “confused leader” who presented his “confused ideology which nobody could understand”.
Replying to questions on Mr Gandhi’s comparison with Mr Modi, AICC spokesperson P.C. Chacko said the Congress scion had shown through his speech that nobody can be compared to him.
