Responding to BJP's jibes over the age of Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath (71), Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia today said the saffron party will get a taste of Nath's abilities in coming polls.
Scindia, the chief of his party's campaign committee in Madhya Pradesh, also announced that the Congress would issue a separate manifesto for the youth.
Talking to reporters at the Indore Press Club, Scindia said, "The BJP probably does not know how much energy Kamal Nath possesses. He is an international-level leader, and the BJP will experience his abilities in the Assembly elections.
"It has been often seen that many youngsters behave like 90-year-olds while elderly people are brisk like a young person of 25 years," he said.
State finance minister Jayant Malaiya recently said it would be difficult for a "bujurg" (aged) man like Nath to take on chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan (59).
Asked why the Congress hasn't made announcement of its chief ministerial candidate, Scindia said, "The situation in every state is different. Whether it's Congress or BJP, in several states no face is projected before the elections."
