Spokespersons: Prof. Rajeev Gowda, Shri Pawan Khera and Shri Rohan Gupta: Shri Pawan Khera said-We have all been in public life, sometimes in power, sometimes out of power. We have faced questions and we have faced criticism. We, as politicians, respond to questions- respond to criticism, we correct where we are wrong and then move on!

The second way, the BJP toolkit way, which is attack those who are questioning you- whether they are from the media, whether they are from the intellectual class, whether they are students, whether they are farmers, whether they are the opposition party, attack them, assassinate their character, resort to lies, forgery, fabrication, demolishing their credibility, but, do not respond to questions, that is the BJP toolkit.

Today again, we have seen, how the BJP resorted to fabrication. They have forged the letter head of the Congress Research Department; Professor Rajeev Gowda is with us, eminent professor, and tried to distract the attention of the world away from the failures, errors of omission and commission, which Mr. Modi is now being known for across the world, which has led to the disaster called Covid Part-2.

Spending time in fighting Corona would have been a better way. There would not have been so much of crisis. People would not have been suffering. There wouldn’t have been so much of sorrow, grief, apprehension, fear, anger. All this could have been avoided, provided priorities were not to attack those who are questioning you, but to attack the problem, to address the crisis. Howsoever you try- you cannot make a leader out of a man who is not a leader. What do we do? In your attempts to make Mr. Modi a leader, you are making the country suffer and you expect us to keep quiet. Sorry, we will counter it every minute. Not just we in the Congress Party, but every single Indian has seen your true face Mr. Modi and every single Indian is ready to respond to you now, because they have seen through you.Tuesday, May 18, 2021
