The bitter  war of words between the Congress and BJP continues in the run-up to the Gujarat polls. Now,  Congress MP Anand Sharma has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi an “ignorant prachar shastri” who was “less literate in economics”, leading to the country’s economy getting “derailed”.

“The prime minister is ignorant and disrespectful of history, less literate in economics,” Sharma said in a series of tweets, reports IANS.

“The economy stands derailed, jobs lost and businesses shut,” he said, blaming Modi for the slowdown.

“India had to suffer when an arth shastri (economist) Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) was replaced by a prachar shastri (publicist) Prime Minister (Narendra Modi),” Sharma tweeted.

The Congress and BJP have been sparing no efforts to attack each other, mostly on social networking sites, ahead of the Gujarat election.

The latest opinion poll on Tuesday predicted that it is going to be a neck-and-neck contest between the two parties in the state where the BJP has been in power for the last 22 years.
