The BJP thrashed the poll manifesto of the Congress, dubbing it "a bundle of lies" and alleged that the party, which ruled the country for several decades, failed to fulfil any of the promises made in its earlier manifestos for the assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi, on Friday, claimed that the Congress party's manifesto intends to create confusion among the voters.
Trivedi said the Congress, which ruled the country for several decades, is talking about nyay' (justice) today, but its governments did not do justice when in power.
Tearing into the party's manifesto, the BJP leader said, "There is a picture on water management in the Congress manifesto. This picture is of the Buffalo River in New York state. Till now they have not been able to find out who was tweeting from their social media chairperson's Twitter, but who sent them this picture?"
"Under the Environment section, a picture from Rahul Gandhi's favoured destination, Thailand has been put," he pointed out, and asked, "who is putting all this in their manifesto."
He said using the wrong photos is not so much of a problem. "But it is concerning these photos are of foreign entities. So far, they have been going abroad and defaming India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But now they are borrowing foreign photos for their manifesto."
"Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said when Congress came to power, not even a needle used to be manufactured in India. This is an absolute lie. C.V. Raman got the Nobel Prize in 1930. Indian Institute of Science (Bengaluru) was founded in 1909. But they will continue to believe that everything happened after Nehru," he said.
