Congress reduced from major national party to junior partner in states: Hardeep Puri

New Delhi, November 3: Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Saturday said that BJP and its alliance partners will win Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly polls and Congress has been reduced from being a major national party to becoming a junior partner in various states.

He alleged that Congress is losing strength because of its “ill-conceived and badly thought-through policies” and that its leaders are “getting frustrated”.

“I think after the collapse of the Jalebi factory in Haryana, now we see the writing on the wall in Maharashtra and Jharkhand, hence these outlandish claims about PDA or whatever he was talking about… Congress has been reduced from being a major national party to becoming a junior partner in all the states. I think that is because of their ill-conceived and badly thought-through policies. We’ll win handsomely in Jharkhand and Maharashtra. That is why they’re getting more frustrated,” Puri, who is Minister for Oil and Natural Gas, told reporter.

He also targeted Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and said the party gets into trouble over its “outlandish promises”.

“He’s showing deep-seated frustration, and that frustration is also understandable. Why is it understandable? When Priyanka went to file her nomination, he was not even allowed to sit inside the room. Then when he goes to Karnataka, he sees the mess there, then with the camera on, he’s telling the Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister that if you make promises and you say that you’re reviewing a scheme, which means you’re not going to be able to implement the promises, you lack credibility and you will get into trouble. That’s a reality,” he said.

“The fundamental difference between the BJP and the Congress is, I’ll not bring AAP here, they are not worth mentioning, when the BJP makes a statement and says we will deliver on an election promise, it has invariably delivered. The opposition, on the other hand, without making a detailed analysis of what the resources available are, without deciding whether they will have the money to implement a scheme, they go and make an outlandish promise, as a result of which they get into trouble,” he added.
