New Delhi:
Congress today latched on to former Union minister Arun Shourie's sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to embarrass the BJP.
"Shourie has accused the Prime Minister of narcissism and of running a one-man Presidential government the direction of which was dangerous for India," Congress spokesman Manish Tewari told reporters in New Delhi.
"What does BJP have to say about this allegation made by their own ideologue, fellow traveller and a former minister in the NDA Government?"
Mr Tewari also sought to know the reaction of the ruling party to Mr Shourie's charge that there has been "complete mismanagement" of India's relations with Pakistan and that the Modi dispensation has mishandled the economy.
