Without taking the names of any particular Congress leader, BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said certain utterances from some leaders were a "disgrace" to democracy and to the democratic polity of the country.
"We feel that in a large country like India where the democracy has matured and when the world is looking up to us, senior leaders of the Congress party should stop behaving like pets," he said.
Asked repeatedly at a party media briefing as to whom he was referring to, Rudy shied away from giving a direct reply but said it was not desirable for respected leaders of the party to behave like pets.
"I am concerned about the standards of democracy in the country," he said when asked why he was asking the Congress leaders to stop behaving like "pets".
The BJP's dig came amid the "loyalist" row in the Congress and a day after Human Resources Development Minister Arjun Singh declared that he was a loyalist of the Nehru-Gandhi family but not a sycophant.
Singh found himself at the Centre of the controversy after he recently criticised the decision-making process in the Congress and suggested that evaluation of loyalty in the party was being done in a "very limited context".
What is wrong in petting? BJP pets Hindus in order to get their votes. They even have their pet gods. Regional parties pet linguistic groups in order to get their votes. All of us wants to be petted by including our communities in OBC list. So why blame Congress? The party wants India to be petted perpetually by Gandhi family. Unless we produce better statesmen, this petting will continue till religion, language, violence, hatred and greed comes to downgrade its unity.
1857 when Indians were fighting British for Independance , Arjun singh's family was supporting British.In leiu of this service they were rewarded with Jhagir of Rewa.
Congress leaders are not behaving like pets but like little pups. The Congress govt has set the country back 10yrs in their 5 yrs rule. Hopefully in this election people of india will bring back the BJP with an absolute majority, so that we can clean up things on our home front. Also in the election the communist swine will be thrown out of India to the scum infested maoist China
