Be more specific in comments,Rahul: BJP

BJP asks Rahul to clarify what he means by a model state,mafia-rule,constitutional status to Lokpal.

Making Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi the centre of its attack,BJP today said he should be more specific in his comments during the Uttar Pradesh election campaign and clarify what he means by a “model state”,mafia-rule and constitutional status to Lokpal.

Without naming Gandhi,BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said the Congress general secretary has often said he wanted to bring about a change in Uttar Pradesh but has not specified the parameters.

“What would be his parameters? Which is the model state he would like to replicate in Uttar Pradesh? Whether it is Andhra Pradesh,which is burning over Telangana,or Rajasthan where the government is surrounded by controversies? We are not able to get an answer,” he said.

The BJP MP said when BJP talked about development,it referred to states like Chhattisgarh,Gujarat,Madhya Pradesh and Bihar where it was in power and had been successful.

Upping the ante,Rudy said to learn about development the Congress leader visited the homes of “Lilavatis,Kalavatis” but the BJP would like to know where one had to go to understand corruption.

“There has been no comments from him on this. We have definitely not heard from him on this. We are not able to understand why,” Rudy said.

The Rajya Sabha MP also said Gandhi should explain what he means by giving Constitutional status to Lokpal. “CAG is also a constitutional body but its report stating there was Rs 1.76 Lakh Crore loss was declared as just nothing by union minister Kapil Sibal,” Rudy said.
