Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Arun Jaitley has attacked Congress campaigner Priyanka Gandhi for comparing BJP leaders to panic-stricken rats. Jaitley took to his blog to slam Priyanka.
"Mrs Vadra has lowered the quality of political discourse by her comments. If any of my family members started referring to my opponents as rats and reptiles, I surely will be a worried man," Jaitley wrote. Following is what Jaitley wrote on Priyanka's comments:
Mrs Vadra has announced that she is not afraid of anyone. She has compared the BJP to "the panic-stricken rats".
Family members are always entitled to help candidates in the elections. The candidate is preoccupied with many engagements. The family fills up the vacuum either in the election office or in the campaign where the candidate cannot reach. The family members are always instructed to be extra courteous and never be overbearing on political workers. They are advised not to even make any undignified references to the political rivals.
Mrs. Vadra has lowered the quality of political discourse by her comments. Language provides a facility where even sharp comments can be made in a dignified manner.
The Vadras are right that they need not be scared of anyone. They should only be scared of the law. Be the Vadras be ever so high, the law is above them. Law spares none, be it the rich, the famous or the related. If any of my family members started referring to my opponents as rats and reptiles I surely will be a worried man.
