The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have not learnt any lesson from the poll debacle in Bihar as they have failed to take slightest action even “suspension for an hour of any motormouth”, Congress said on Tuesday.
“It is all politics to fool the people. The PM is the top leadership, but not the slightest action has been taken against anyone. No penal action. No coercive action. There is no expulsion. There is not even suspension. No suspension even for an hour of any motormouth...Not learnt a single lesson from Bihar,” said party spokesman Abhishek Singhvi.
Noting that there has been a long list of leaders of the BJP and the Sangh Parivar, who have made controversial statements in the past 18 months, he said they included Vinay Katiyar, Mohan Bhagwat, Sakshi Maharaj, Giriraj Singh and Kailash Vijayvargiya.
In an apparent reference to the Shatrughan Sinha issue, he said what was a matter of worry was that Vijayvargiya was not proceeded against even after making a controversial statement against a BJP leader which kicked up a row.
