New Delhi, February 25 Union Minister Piyush Goyal launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday, alleging that the Congress leader and his party are engaged in "petty politics" to destabilize the country's progress and are acting as "puppets" in the hands of anti-India forces.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, he also alleged that the Gandhi family is a "compromised family" and the Congress a "compromised political party."
"The Gandhi family has always compromised the country's interests, starting with the first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru," the senior BJP leader said.
Goyal alleged that Gandhi has compromised "national interest" by joining hands with anti-India forces.
Gandhi and his party are engaged in "petty politics" to destabilize the country's progress while acting as "puppets" of anti-India foreign forces, the minister charged.
"Rahul Gandhi has become the poster boy of negative politics," he added.
