Mother’s devotion to ‘inept’ son ruined Congress: Akbar

In a scathing attack at the Congress for questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s devotion to his mother, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday said Sonia Gandhi was “ruining” Congress in her “devotion to her inept son” that has made Rahul Gandhi the “spoilt child” of the Indian politics.

Describing as “appalling and pathetic” the opposition party’s dig at Modi over his turning emotional while talking about his mother, BJP accused it of becoming voice of “untruth, malice and utter frustration” and wondered if it had become “trapped in an inept leadership”.

“It was perhaps both significant and revealing that the Congress chose to get personal in an extremely appalling and pathetic manner by commenting on the moving moment when the PM recalled what his mother had done. He is devoted to his mother. He touched her feet after <g data-gr-id="17">election</g> victory. This is quite in contrast to the Congress, where a mother has ruined the party and is trying to ruin the nation by her utter devotion to her completely inept son. It is this doting behaviour that has made Rahul Gandhi the spoilt child of the Indian politics,” said BJP spokesperson MJ Akbar.

He alleged that Congress was unable to bear the sight of Modi raising the prestige of the country. With the opposition questioning the outcome of Modi’s tour, Akbar quoted the CEOs of top US firms such as Apple, Microsoft and Google, among others, in which they had lavished praise on his leadership.
