BJP Lawmakers' Fast "Farcical", Says Congress

New Delhi: The Congress today dubbed the ongoing fast by the BJP lawmakers against the non-functioning of Parliament as "farcical". 

"A Farcical Fast by a fascist BJP," said Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala, in a tweet, amid reports of fast by BJP lawmakers at various places across the country.

A Farcical Fast' by a 'Fascist BJP'!

Post rhetoric,
jumlas,
diversions,
headline management,
TV studio warfare;
Will PM/BJP answer when will they start 'Jan Ki Baat'?#UpvasKaJumla

Mr Surjewala also asked when would the Prime Minister talk of "Jan Ki Baat" (people's talk), instead of "jumlas and rhetoric" and managing headlines.

"Post rhetoric, jumlas, diversions, headline management, TV studio warfare; Will PM/BJP answer when will they start Jan Ki Baat'?," he said on Twitter.

Randeep Surjewala also used the hashtag "#UpvasKaJumla" along with his tweet.

Time for #UpvasKaJumla over!
