New Delhi : Recuperating at home after the successful operation of his kidney problem, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday slammed Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his continued anti-Narendra Modi rant.
Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, Jaitley, through his Facebook post, said wisdom has to be “acquired through learning and cannot be inherited”.
He said the Congress party has become “ideologyless” because its “only obsession is a person called Narendra Modi.” The Congress president has been attacking the Narendra Modi government for waiving loans of Rs 2.5 lakh crore by big corporates. He also criticized the NDA government’s Mudra Yojna.
For a president of a national party not to understand this basic procedure of bank functioning should be a matter of concern to the entire party as also the country. In dynastic parties, political positions are heritable. Unfortunately wisdom is not heritable. It has to be acquired through learning,” he said in a post titled ‘Is Congress Becoming Ideologyless? Is Anti-Modism its only ideology?’
Earlier this week, Rahul Gandhi cited the examples of successful American entrepreneurs to attack Modi’s policies. He had described the Coca-Cola founder as a ‘shikanji seller’ and that McDonald as a ‘dhaba wala’
“Though factually what he stated was incorrect, the larger point is that he saw virtues in these professions which can act as a launch pad for many start-ups,” he said in his Facebook post.
“The great grandson of the man who authored ‘The Discovery of India’ could with his customary inaccuracies one day give to this country his monumental work on ‘The Rediscovery of Coca Cola’,” Jaitley said.
He further said that there is no ideological pattern in Gandhi’s statements. “Ignorance with anti-Modism is a common thread,” he observed
