Taking a dig at the BJP’s claims over nationalism, the former minister said, the BJP has a lot to learn from the Congress on the issue of nationalism. “They are no comparison to us when it comes to watching and safeguarding the national interest and our leaders have laid down their lives for nationalism, both before and after the independence of the country,” he said.

He held the hollow policies of BJP led government at the Centre responsible for economic slowdown, unemployment and unbridled inflation. He said the woes and miseries of the common man today are attributed to the wrong policies of the BJP Government at the Centre.

He said that the unemployment and the prices have increased tremendously in the last eight years and now by imposing GST on food products the government has broken the back of common man.
