Rahul tells his men to not make personal attacks on opposition

‘It is wrong to make personal attacks on opposition,’ the Congress vice-president told a meeting of party spokespersons called to elicit suggestions on how best to get the message of Congress across to people in the coming Lok Sabha elections. He, however, did not name Aiyar.

Rahul made the remark after party MP Bhalchandra Mungekar said that remarks like denigrating the ‘chaiwala’ (tea seller) will not do the party any good.

‘Do not denigrate chaiwala. Such comments are unnecessary and they may derail the debate,’ Mungekar, who is one of the TV panelists of the party, said.
