Photo: ReutersNew Delhi: The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday indulged in a war of words over Rahul Gandhi’s address at a Singapore university where he assailed the saffron party of pursuing divisive politics. Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said Rahul Gandhi, as leader of the principal opposition party, “will continue to show the mirror of truth to an ‘arrogant and authoritarian’ government. “Our country’s prime minister is such a person who abuses the country’s history of 70 years and says that he felt ashamed being an Indian till he became the prime minister. “With political discourse hitting new lows everyday, Congress President Rahul Gandhi shows how to gracefully handle detractors and call their bluff,” said the Congress, on its twitter handle while referring to the economist’s question.
