Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari today took a dig at BJP President Rajnath Singh over his appeal to colleagues not to air opinions regarding the party's prime ministerial nominee saying that such home remedies cannot treat "chronic
delusionites".
Tewari made this comment in a early morning post on the social networking site Twitter and later told reporters that the country was watching BJP's inner conflict.
"Even Rajnath Singhji's home remedies can't treat the chronic delusionites his esteemed colleagues suffer from. Fantansyland is addictive place," Tewari said.
He later told reporters that though elections were far, the ambitions of BJP leaders kept manifesting themselves.
"The entire country is watching the inner conflict which is happening between the leaders of the
BJP. At present no election date can be seen on any horizon but there ambitions keep gathering pace," Tewari said.
"The people who live in such imaginary worlds and whose daily routine is composed of day dreams, they have no concern for people, there concerns or their welfare," he said.
Tewari said whatever the BJP President may instruct, people had clearly seen those, the basis of whose politics is ambition.
In a bid to put down partymen airing views on its prime ministerial candidate, the BJP President had yesterday issued a virtual gag order on the issue which was breached by two leaders from Bihar pitching for Narendra
Modi.
Concerned over party leaders voicing their opinion in public and the fissures within NDA on the issue of declaring the Gujarat Chief Minister as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate, Singh had made a "final appeal" to his party leaders not to speak on the issue.
