Mumbai: Amid reports over BJP patriarch LK Advani expressing displeasure over giving him candidature from Gandhinagar constituency for upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Congress attacked the BJP saying that how the party can ask the nation to trust its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi when its senior leader does not trust him.
"There is a complete trust deficit in the BJP as Advani is fearful of a sabotage at the behest of Modi in Gandhinagar, which is why he is unwilling to contest from there and is insisting for the Bhopal constituency. If senior leader like LK Advani does not trust Modi, then how can the BJP ask the nation to trust Modi," said Abhishek Singhvi, national spokesperson of Congress while speaking to media in Mumbai.

He also criticised the BJP for giving tickets to Muzaffarnagar riots accused for Lok Sabha election. "It is trying to project as secular party but has failed completely after it declared two accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots case—Hukum Singh and Sanjeev Baliyan—as Lok Sabha poll candidates. These accused face serious charges in the riots case," he said adding that the BJP rewards such leaders who cause deaths.
The Congress spokesperson also alleged that there is absolute lust for power in BJP. "It is nothing but a group of people who are driven by blind ambition and absolute lust for power. It is not the 'party with difference' but actually a 'party of differences'," alleged Singhvi.
"We take our opponents seriously and Modi and Kejriwal deserve a big fight. We will contest them in a big way along with other regional parties," Singhvi said in response to a question over who would be the biggest threat to Congress between BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.
