Finance Minister Arun Jaitley lashed out at the Congress party saying that the electorate is now well on its way to deny it a role even as a principal opposition. He also took a jibe at the Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance for the UP Assembly elections in a post on his Facebook Page and said, “Many in the Samajwadi Party are wondering if it was worth leaving 103 seats for the Congress in Uttar Pradesh.” In a statement after the results of the local elections in Odisha and Maharashtra, he said that the BJP is capable of winning major States on its own after assessing the results. Jaitley said that the Congress Party’s disruptive role in Parliament has projected it more as a fringe rather than a mainstream political party. He said, “It has failed to behave like a natural party of governance. It is seen as anti-reformist, anti-growth.”
