New Delhi: Taking a dig at the Congress party for appointing Sonia Gandhi as its interim president, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra on Sunday said that the Gandhi's were playing "musical chair" among themselves.
Patra also underlined that Sonia's appointment proves that Rahul Gandhi was a "blunder so far as Congress is concerned."
"They had to zero down to someone who belongs to the Gandhi family at the end. We can also say that Congress has travelled a full circle, it is back to square one from Sonia Gandhi to Rahul Gandhi to Sonia Gandhi, it is a musical chair which is only playing music to one particular family. I would also like to suggest that it also shows one thing that Rahul Gandhi was a blunder as far as Congress is concerned," said Patra.
Claiming that there is a stark contrast between the two parties, Patra said, unlike BJP where the party is the family, in Congress, it is the family which is the party.
The Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Saturday chose Sonia Gandhi as its "interim president", nearly two-and-half months after her son Rahul Gandhi resigned as the party chief, while taking responsibility for the party's debacle in the Lok Sabha elections.
Patra also criticised Rahul Gandhi for his alleged comments on Kashmir and said that the former Congress chief was attempting to incite violence.
"Rahul Gandhi commenting on Jammu and Kashmir is appalling and demeaning. Why is Rahul Gandhi, a 'shehzada' hell-bent to instigate some kind of violence? Whenever there is peace in the country, we see Rahul Gandhi is not happy. Kashmir is in peace, Congress should also be in peace", Patra said.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that reports of violence and people dying in Jammu and Kashmir are coming up and called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi to transparently tell the country about the situation.
