As Congress released a video of Uma Bharti purportedly describing Narendra Modi a "Vinash Purush" (agent of destruction), BJP today hit back at the ruling party whose "desperation" was writ large and it was its last-ditch effort to save the "first family" of Congress.
Launching a sharp attack, the opposition party said it shows the "bankrupcy" of Congress which has stooped low to produce such a video which is 2-3 years old.
BJP said it can also produce "hundreds" of videos of Congress leaders who had left the party and said many things and were later re-inducted into the party and given plum posts.
"Desperate times have desperate measures. Congress's desperation is writ large. How is anybody in the country concerned about what anybody said 2-3 years ago? And the same person has re-inducted herself into BJP after whatever making up was supposed to be done.
"Congress's dependence on 3-4 year old videos shows that this is the last-ditch effort by the party to save the first family of Congress," said BJP national spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi.
The video clip shows Bharti describing Modi as "Vinash Purush" and his development claims as "sham". In the audio-visual presentation, Bharti, who was then heading Bharatiya Janshakti Party after parting ways with BJP, says she never saw "Hindus so frightened as in Gujarat" and that "Gujarat has become a fear-stricken state".
