Slamming Congress president Sonia Gandhi for ‘insulting’ the people of the country through her ‘false dreams’ remark, Union minister Venkaiah Naidu on Friday said instead of passing such comments Congress leaders should introspect and work towards the revival of the party.
‘She (Sonia) had said that Modi government came to power by selling false dreams to Indians. This is an insult to the wisdom of the people of India. People chose a leader as they believe that he would deliver,’ Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here.
‘The fact is that the Congress has not been able to digest its humiliating electoral defeat. Instead of introspecting and working towards the revival of their party, they are making such comments,’ he added.
Addressing a conference of Mahila Congress in Delhi on the occasion of the 70th birth anniversary of former prime minister and her husband Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia had said that the Congress-led alliance lost in the Lok Sabha polls as people got misled by the false dreams shown by Narendra Modi.
‘Such statements from the Congress chief only reflects the frustration and desperation in the Congress, which lacks grace to accept its defeat,’ Naidu said.
Replying to a query, Naidu termed as ‘unfortunate’ the recent hooting against non-BJP chief ministers in the presence of the prime minister.
