Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday hit out at Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh over his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Ramesh had attacked PM Modi, who accused Congress of sympathising with terrorism and condoning corruption during his campaign in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. He said that ‘lying is PM Modi’s character'. “…At the time of elections, he starts telling super lies. He has been doing this ever since he was the Chief Minister. During the election campaign, he is continuously telling lies one after the other as he did yesterday," the Congress leader had said on Friday.
Naqvi hit out at Ramesh over his jibe at the prime minister. “When did they start giving character certificates? Their own character is filled with corruption, communalism and confusion”, PTI quoted the former Union minister as saying.
