Rahul is the Congress 'candidate in purdah', says Jaitley

”The entire campaign is centered around Rahul Gandhi. However, Rahul Gandhi indeed is a non-candidate for Prime Ministership (since the party has no official candidate). Why is it that the campaign is centered around him,” he asked.

The BJP leader said the Congress does not want to admit that it is officially projecting Rahul as prime ministerial candidate as an adverse result may make him accountable.

”It is therefore attempting an alternative strategy of having a de facto candidate rather than a de jure candidate. A positive result will be credited to Rahul Gandhi and a negative result will be debited to Congress Party,” he said.

The BJP also attacked the Congress for the huge advertising budget of Congress ahead of elections.
