Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh neatly turned the tables on the BJP when it attacked the government using the comments made by David Axelrod, a key advisor of US President Barack Obama. Ramesh quipped, “Mr Axelrod is the Arun Jaitley of the Obama Administration.
He is their top spin doctor. He has tried to give a spin to this Agreement.” Axelrod had said the Copenhagen Accord would enable the US to “review” what China and India were doing and “challenge” the two countries if they did not meet those goals.
