New Delhi: Days after the Congress praised A B Vajpayee to target Narendra Modi, the party did a U- turn today calling the BJP veteran "the weakest PM India ever had", a taunt often directed at Manmohan Singh by the opposition party.


In his tweet, Congerss spokesman Sanjay Jha alleged that Vajpayee was the "weakest" Prime Minister as he had failed to protect India's border and country's interests while dealing with Pakistan.

He said that Vajpayee had even failed to handle Narendra Modi whom he wanted removed as Chief Minister in the wake of Gujarat riots in 2002.

"The weakest PM ever was AB Vajpayee, who wanted to sack Mr Modi for the ghastly Gujarat massacre, but succumbed to BJP bullying," he tweeted.

The Congress spokesman also took potshots at Vajpayee over his government's failure in protecting the Indian border and interests while dealing with Pakistan.

"The weakest PM India ever had was AB Vajpayee who was hugging PM Nawaz Sharif, even as 50 soldiers had lost their lives in Kargil," Jha tweeted.

"The weakest Prime Minister that India ever had was AB Vajpayee. Gen Musharraf spent a night on Indian soil, while the PMO and NDA snored," he said.
