Arun Jaitley hits back at Rahul Gandhi

BJP leader Arun Jaitley has said that Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi would have not get any top responsibility if he was with another party. Jaitley claimed that only personality driven party like Congress who endorse dynasty politics gives opportunity to Rahul Gandhi to rise to the top, but not on his merits. If he was ordinary member with another he would not get the responsibility.

Jaitley’s attck comes days after Rahul Gandhi accused BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for being a one-man party.  

“It is only in a personality and family dominated set-up like the Congress that Rahul can be nominated as the unquestioned supremo,” Jaitley Jaitley lashed out at Rahul on his blog.

“Having popular leaders like Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Mr. Narendra Modi is very different from the BJP becoming personality centric. These leaders were and will always remain subject to the party structure. Mr. Rahul Gandhi has got the principle against personality centered party right, he has got his facts all wrong,” he added.

“When Mrs. Sonia Gandhi entered politics in her own right, the party accepted the principle that a person of foreign origin can be the Prime Minister of India. She eventually decided not to accept the post. The virtues of renunciation were now sung by the party. Mr.Rahul Gandhi’s decision to overrule the central Cabinet through his ‘non-sense’ comment were pointer to the fact an individual was taller than the party,” Jaitley explained.

“In a structured party like the BJP or the Left, Mr. Rahul Gandhi would still have been struggling to get his first assignment as an office bearer in the party structure or in a legislative body. It is only in a personality and family dominated set-up like the Congress that he can be nominated as the unquestioned supremo,” Jaitley said.
