Jaitley questions logic behind Rahul's BJP balloon jibe

Jaitley, who will be taking on Congress's Capt Amarinder Singh in this Sikh dominated parliamentary constituency, further said all opinion polls are “speaking the same language” that Congress and the UPA's vote share is declining sharply while that of the NDA is going up.  

He said while Congress has only 2-3 allies, the number of allies with NDA was on the rise and would go up further.  

“In such a scenario to say that the balloon will burst...  is it an astrological prediction or is it based on some rational political thinking...if based on some political thought, explain us the political logic,” Jaitley quipped.  

At the launch of Congress manifesto, Rahul had said “Just like the ‘India Shining' balloon exploded... I can say certainly the balloon will explode.”
