“The same Rahul Gandhi who along with his mother made the PM powerless says he will now give strength to the people of India,” he said sarcastically, referring to the content of the book written by Singh's former media adviser Sanjaya Baru.
By not rebutting the book's claim that the ruling Congress pressurised PM Manmohan Singh into giving credit to Gandhi for NREGA, Prasad said the Congress leader has only confirmed it.
The BJP leader ridiculed Gandhi's assertion that he fought against graft by introducing institutional reforms like RTI, saying, “coalgate, 2G scam and railgate all happened during UPA rule despite RTI.”
“Let me tell you Rahul Gandhi humbly that people of India are not fools as you think them to be,” he said.
