The BJP on Friday mocked Rahul Gandhi’s visit to the bank for exchanging currency notes as a “photo opportunity”, and said it only underlined the demonetisation move’s success as “privileged dynasties” will now have to queue up and follow the law.
Taking a swipe at the Congress Vice-President, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said had he queued up in the Congress party and allowed the fittest to rule, then his party would have been better off.
“Those born into dynasties lived under the impression that they were born to rule. They never stood in a queue. Succession to positions of power was a birth right. Rahul Gandhi never stood in a queue to become the leader of his party.
Attacking Gandhi over his visit to the bank, Javadekar said he wanted to create a scene by standing in a queue.
“He thought it was a great photo opportunity. He visited the bank perhaps for the first time. The irony is that, on the contrary, his photo opportunity turned out to be a success of PM (Narendra) Modi’s scheme. Even those in privileged dynasties will now have to queue up and face the law. The age of privileges for a few is over now,” he said.
