BJP slams Congress’s ‘double standards’ towards judiciary

The BJP attacks Congress, saying the the party’s “double standards” towards the judiciary has been exposed as it was now praising the Supreme Court after insulting it and also attempting to impeach the Chief Justice of India (CJI).

“The party that had tried to impeach the CJI is now all praises for him and its leader Rahul Gandhi, who is praising the Supreme Court today, used Pakistan as an analogy yesterday,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told.

Patra was responding to Gandhi’s remarks in which he welcomed today’s Supreme Court order to conduct a floor test in the Karnataka assembly at 4 PM today, drastically slashing the 15-day window given by Governor Vajubhai Vala to BJP Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa to prove majority.

He also referred to the Congress president’s remark that the judiciary and the press were under “fear” and that usually happens in Pakistan under “dictatorship”.

“The real face of the Congress is exposed. It insulted the apex court over the Justice Loya case, and is now praising them. This shows the hypocrisy and double standards of the Congress towards the judiciary and its selective approach,” Patra said.

Talking about Karnataka, he said the Congress is “murdering” the people’s mandate” in the state. They cannot alter the Constitution according to their whims, the BJP spokesperson said.

“There is nothing bigger than the mandate. We are all watching the Congress’s conspiracy to undermine the mandate… This is why they went to the court in the middle of the night,” he said.
