New Delhi: Taking a swipe at the Congress after its president Rahul Gandhi tendered an unconditional apology for attributing 'chowkidar chor hai' remarks to the Supreme Court, the BJP on Wednesday said it showed the opposition party's "political bankruptcy".

"Rahul Gandhi had to apologise to the Supreme Court for attributing lies to the Supreme Court. Congress is a habitual liar. This is political bankruptcy. This is desperation," BJP leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar told a press conference.
