Bangalore: BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Wednesday attacked UPA government's style of functioning, saying Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is the 'new superman' and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a "tragic figure"."Sri Rahul Gandhi for

He said what was "worse" was when Rahul Gandhi emerged and assumed office of Congress Vice President, "the PM was pushed from second to third place in the hierarchy... This shows the power equation in UPA."

"If there is somebody who represents the tragedy of Congress party today, more than anyone else- it is Prime Minister Manmohan Singh; he is the tragic figure.. Even his cabinet colleagues don't listen to him," he added.

Listing out various scams during UPA government's tenure, he hit out at Singh and UPA for its 'inefficiency' in controlling it and for "demeaning" constitutional agencies like CAG who brought the scams into the limelight.

"Let me assure you, it's just a matter of less than three months when we come into office and each one of these scams will be properly investigated by the same CBI which is not investigating them today under political pressure."

Criticizing Aadhar initiative of the government, he said the single outcome of Aadhar is- "someone (Nandan Nilikeni) will be getting Congress ticket to contest Lok Sabha polls."
