NEW DELHI: The Congress Working Committee on Wednesday slammed the Centre's foreign policy, saying Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'huglomacy' has backfired and left India diplomatically isolated, unable to secure its national interests.
Congress top brass met in Patna for the party’s first post-Independence Working Committee meeting in Bihar , and resolutions were adopted at the meeting.
The Congress held Working Committee meeting focusing on the assembly election strategy and increasing pressure on the BJP over alleged "vote chori" (vote theft).
At a CWC meeting, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge launched a sharp attack on the BJP, accusing it of “vote theft” and communal polarisation.
He said the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls would signal the “beginning of the end” of the Modi government’s “corrupt rule” and claimed that “internal strife” within the NDA was now out in the open.
"Nitish Kumar has been mentally retired by the BJP. The BJP now considers him a burden," Kharge charged.
Hitting back, BJP MP and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad called Kharge’s remarks “very unfair”. "Such a comment coming from the Congress party's president questioning the mental status of the chief minister is very unfair.""Beyond this I will retain my civilised comments, except to say that Mr Congress president would you kindly do some introspection as to what is your status in the party where the levers of power is with someone else," the senior BJP leader said when asked for comment.
