Chandigarh (Haryana) [India], May 25 (ANI): Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) candidate from Kurukshetra, Abhay Singh Chautala took a jab at the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday and said that neither Rahul Gandhi nor Prime Minister Narendra Modi had any issues other than criticising and disparaging one another and saying things that would divide the country.
Speaking to ANI, Abhay Singh Chautala said, "Tell me, the BJP which is in power and considers itself as the largest party in the world and the Congress which ruled the country for a long time, both these parties are fighting on what kind of issues?"
"To date, both party leaders --- Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have not had any issues other than criticising and disparaging one another and saying things that would divide the country," said Chautala.
Adding further he questioned, "Is the Congress telling what they have done in the last 70 years or is the BJP saying what they have done in the past 10 years? We (INLD) have several things to tell to the people of Haryana as to what facilities we gave when our government was in power."
