‘Dilli dur ast’, Cong says to Modi

Congress and BJP on Sunday crossed swords over Narendra Modi’s attack on Rahul Gandhi’s ‘beehive’ remark with three ruling party leaders saying it did not need lessons on patriotism and also that Delhi is still far off for the Gujarat chief minister. I& B minister Manish Tewari asserted that metaphors denoting cohesion and unity were beyond the comprehension of ‘self appointed jingoists’ while his ministerial colleague Kapil Sibal said that ‘Dilli dur ast’ (Delhi is still far off)’.
