New Delhi: BJP leader Arun Jaitley yesterday hit out at Rahul Gandhi over his remarks about the opposition party and prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi pursuing “personality-oriented” power and said the Congress vice president had got his facts all wrong.
In an article, Jaitley accused the Congress and many of its former prime ministers of practising “personality-oriented” politics.
Jaitley said Gandhi was right that political parties cannot be personality-centric.
The Bharatiya Janata Party leader said political parties should have a structure, an ideology and inner party democracy and cannot be run on the whims of an individual.
“Having popular leaders like Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Narendra Modi is very different from the BJP becoming personality centric. These leaders were and will always remain subject to the party structure. Rahul Gandhi has got the principle against personality centred-party right, (but) he has got his facts all wrong,” Jaitley said.
