Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday hit out at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi saying his revenge against Modi may not succeed, and will end up as revenge against his own party.
Rahul’s statement quoted in a media organisation yesterday that “I have dismantled Modi’s image” was a give-away, Jaitley said, asking how can the image of a person (Narendra Modi) be damaged when he is riding perhaps at the peak of his popularity and someone who is known to be incredibly honest.
“Can image be destroyed by a person who belongs to a family which has been tainted through generations with charges of corruption?” he asked. “He does not gauge public opinion. He only talks but does not listen,” Jaitley said. “His revenge against Prime Minister Modi may not succeed. It may well turn out to be revenge against the Congress.”
Jaitley said it was clear that Rahul concocts falsehood, as in the Rafale case, starts believing his falsehood to be true and eventually dreams that the falsehood has destroyed his opponent.
Jaitley called Rahul a dynast who buys his own propaganda even if there are not too many others willing to accept it. He said dynasts have a sense of entitlement and they believe that they were born to rule. Gandhis, he said, suffer from this sense of entitlement.
