Rahul Gandhi

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has hit back at Congress President Rahul Gandhi for taking a jibe at the Centre over the proposed Naga peace accord that is pending since February 2015. MoS Jeetendra Singh targeted the political lineage of Gandhi, saying the Congress Party failed to resolve the issue even as it stayed in power for a long time since independence. 'He is conveniently forgetting that the party that ruled for at least 50 years in Congress. It is their doing and baggage. In fact, the improvement in the security situation in the Northeast now was never so in the last 50-60 years. Why wasn't it? That is a question the Congress needs to answer,' Singh told ANI.
