BJP said: election Commission should be take cognizance on Shashi Tharoor's 'bleeder' remark
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday demanded that the Election Commission should take cognizance of Congress spokesperson Shashi Tharoor's comments that India does not need "a bleeder or a pleader" as Prime Minister.
Yesterday, Tharoor gave the 'bleeder' remark while hitting back at BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and senior leader Arun Jaitley for dubbing PM Manmohan Singh as "just a reader and not a leader".
Tharoor had also questioned Jaitley's attack on Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, and said why BJP was targeting a "private individual", who is neither a member of a political party nor a candidate in this Lok Sabha polls.
Tharoor's remark came after Jaitley posted stinging remarks on his blog against Singh and Vadra.
Jaitley took potshots at Singh in his blog saying the Prime Minister "walked on snow, but did not leave any footprints", a day after PMO sought to counter the perception that Singh has been "weak" in his tenure.
To substantiate claims of India's growth under Manmohan Singh, Pachauri said, "GDP tripled in the last 10 years. Our per capita income tripled in last 10 years. But people don't know, as media are priorities different." "PM has made more than 1000 speeches & more than half of what he said has been achieved in last 10 years."
Dr Manmohan Singh's eldest daughter Upinder Singh had also slammed Sanjaya Baru, the former advisor to the PM, saying his book 'The Accidental Prime Minister - The Making and Unmaking of Manmohan Singh' was nothing but a “stab in the back…a huge betrayal of trust...(and a) mischievous, unethical exercise”.
With the book being released in the middle of the General Elections 2014, Upinder said the same could not be described as an “unbiased or objective book”.
