NEW DELHI: The Congress hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, alleging that defamation of Jawaharlal Nehru and minimum democratic governance was his model.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said PM Modi has an "obsession" with Nehru as he invokes the country's first prime minister to distract the nation's attention from his "own failures" and current challenges on which he maintains a "complete silence".
The Congress attack on the Prime Minister came a day after Modi attacked the party during the debate on the 'Glorious 75-year journey of India's Constitution.
"It was the famous French philosopher Voltaire who had first said that if God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him. For our self-anointed divinity -- if Nehru had not existed -- it would have been necessary to invent him," Ramesh said.
The Congress leader asked what would the prime minister do without Nehru, for whom he has a pathological obsession.
