Patna: The BJP on Monday hit out at the Congress top brass, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi, saying the party leaders sought to brush aside development in Bihar during NDA rule even as a host of eminent personalities have acknowledged the state's progress.
The PM and the top Congress leaders have sought to brush aside development in Bihar during NDA government's rule while they were electioneering in the poll-bound state, BJP's national spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
However, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Nobel Laureate Amartaya Sen have praised the state government for carrying out development during the past five years, he said.
"If what Singh and Gandhi and her son Rahul are saying about Bihar is not true, then the Planning Commission Deputy Chairman be sacked by the UPA government for his repeated praise for the NDA government for ushing in development in the state," he asked.
Castigating the UPA government top brass for their deliberate bid to poke holes in the NDA goverment's performance by falsifying the truth, Prasad criticised the Prime Minister and the Congress chief for "their habit of delivering monologue" without giving an opportunity to the other side to challenge them in an open debate.
"There should be differences in politics, but there must be a certain standard in public life," Prasad said while questioning the "lopsided" comments of Congress leaders and ministers, apart from.
