Congress practising 'negative' politics: BJP

BJP has said that the Congress party is practising "negative" politics by portraying a picture of India as a country that is destroyed and where every individual is unhappy. "At a time when the world is calling India a bright spot, Rahul Gandhi and the string of speeches by their leaders during the Congress plenary are showing as if India is ruined. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi on Sundaay, spokesperson Sambit Patra said that Rahul Gandhi acknowledged for the first time what the Narendra Modi government has achieved in Kashmir. Patra said that the then defence minister A K Antony's atatement in Parliament “proves the cowardice of the then government.” 

In 2013, AK Antony said, "I will not be hesitant to accept the truth. For 70 long years, the policy of India had been 'under-developed borders are the safest places' because China is powerful.

This statement proves the cowardice of the then govt.

“We have also seen the agreement Sonia (Gandhi) and Rahul ji made with Xi Jinping when they went to China in 2008,” he said. Accusing the Gandhi family of seeking power without responsibility, Patra rebuked Rahul Gandhi for having to undertake a “short trip to know this country after 52 years” when leaders of the saffron party left their homes early in life as “pracharaks”.
