January 23, 2014 17:09

Senior BJP leader and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Arun Jaitley slammed the Congress on Thursday and said that the party had nothing to sell and nothing to show to the electorate of this country.

Jaitley took on Union Finance Minister, P Chidambaram and Law Minister, Kapil Sibal and said that both of them had decided to speak out after UPA government had displayed a lack of will to fight in an adverse political scenario.

The BJP leader said that Chidambaram, who was in Davos to attend the World Economic Forum, was expected to market the Indian economy but instead chose to speak on Modi.

Jaitley said, He questions the BJPs ability to administer the national economy. The audience still had fair memories of management of Indias economy between 1998 and 2004. Not many critical mentions are there for that period, adding, Coincidentally, on the day that he chose to speak about the BJP and Narendra Modi at Davos, Moodys has come out with its India report which is highlighted in the media. Its reporting indicates that the Industry is today waiting for a political change led by Narendra Modi for a major turn-around to take place.
