The BJP on Tuesday dubbed Congress president Rahul Gandhi a "tape recorder of lies" and said his party's fortunes will go down as swiftly as he resorts to "falsehoods" to target the Narendra Modi government.

The Bharatiya Janata Party's media head and Rajya Sabha member Anil Baluni accused Gandhi of starting "bad conventions" of targeting his rivals with lies on a daily basis. "His lies are exposed all the time. His charge against the government over the financial support to IL&FS was exposed within a few hours yesterday. But he believes in speaking from the same script everyday and uttering one lie or another but people in India are wise and can see through it," he said.
