"First of all, if the Prime Minister would be kind enough to clarify on his educational qualifications, the rest of the diatribe would then be answered," Congress spokesman Manish Tewari told reporters.
Claiming that the Prime Minister seems to have "very selective yardsticks", he said, when it comes to the Congress, there is the "obvious vendetta and witchhunt".
"But all these yardsticks do not seem to apply to Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Vyapam. They do not seem to apply to the Rajasthan chief minister and the linkage with Lalit Modi. It does not seem to apply to the chief minister of Chhattisgarh and the involvement of that government in the PDS scam", he alleged.
In his first public comments since the AgustaWestland issue broke out, Modi in poll-bound Tamil Nadu yesterday had dubbed the controversial deal a "chori" (theft) and said that the guilty, howsoever big, would "not be spared".
