PM may be a myopic not to see Modi wave: Jaitley

Lashing out at the Congress, he said, “This the first time that an outgoing government, through its leaders, is carrying on a campaign of negativity rather than highlighting their own achievements.”

While the country is debating anti-incumbency against the Congress, the Gandhis are busy attacking the incumbent, he said.

“It is a rare occasion in history that a ruling party hides its failure by blaming the opposition”, he said.  

“Modi's ability to set the agenda for good governance and stick to it despite provocation is clearly demonstrable.

It is the enormous amount of goodwill that Modi enjoys even in eastern and southern parts of the country which is leading to a significant increase in the BJP vote,” he said.
