<b>BJP targets Rahul Gandhi:</b> Congress today came under fire for engaging in "doublespeak" as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) charged that while its Vice President Rahul Gandhi was on the one hand opposing the NDA government's bid to improve rural infrastructure, he was attacking it over the issue of a food park project in Amethi on the other. "The case of Amethi food park and its cancellation is the result of a decision taken by the UPA government. Gandhi is playing politics on the issue. While on the one hand he is seeking setting up of the food park, he is opposing industrialisation through setting up of industrial corridors on the other that would create jobs and promote rural infrastructure," said BJP.

<b>Shiv Sena mocks BJP's Devendra Fadnavis comments </b> Taking a jibe at Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over his statement that the split of saffron allies ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections brought out the true strength of the BJP, the Shiv Sena today said such comments are needed to boost the morale of party workers. "If he (Fadnavis) says that the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) split with the Shiv Sena strengthened his party, there is nothing wrong with it. One needs to make such comments to boost the morale of party workers. But what is more important is his comment that the BJP and Sena will fight the upcoming elections together," Sena's Rajya Sabha MP Anil Desai told reporters here. Defending the BJP's decision to part ways with long time partner Sena ahead of Assembly polls last year, Fadnavis had on Saturday said the split of the saffron allies brought out the true strength of the BJP.
