April 16, 2015 17:09
Congress on Thursday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his remarks in Canada about the "mess' left behind by others, saying they were in "poor taste' coming on foreign soil and show that he still carries the "hangover of the election campaign".
"The prime minister's statement on foreign soil, both in Germany and Canada, has been in poor taste. It is clear that (Modi) carries a hangover of the 2014 election campaign.
He is talking on foreign soil to malign his predecessors and the present opposition. No prime minister of India in its history has ever done so, said Congress spokesman Anand Sharma.
Charging that Modi had painted a picture which suggested that the country was known only for corruption and scams before he came to office, Sharma said the prime minister had lowered the dignity of his office.
