NEW DELHI: Countering Rahul Gandhi's allegation on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Rafale deal and demonetisation, the BJP on Thursday said the Congress president is repeating the same set of allegation because he has nothing new to offer.

Addressing a press conference here, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said the Rafale deal cannot launch Gandhi's career because he lacks facts and that his take on the demonetisation exercise was already rejected the people of the country time and again.

Gandhi is a "non-serious political player" who has nothing new to offer and has been parroting the same charges, Patra said of the Congress chief's press conference in which he had launched a sharp attack on Modi.

It was like a "parrot pattern press conference", repeating the same allegations, Patra said.

Despite people's rejection of his charges, Gandhi continues to have the same scriptwriter, he said.

Patra cited the BJP's massive win in the Uttar Pradesh assembly poll, which was held in February-March last year following demonetisation in November 2016, and subsequent elections to claim people's support to the measure.

To Gandhi's allegation that the Modi government worked to benefit 15 industrialists, he said the Congress leader should answer as to how many of them turned richer after it came to power in 2014.

On the issue of Rafale fighter aircraft deal, Patra mocked Gandhi for quoting different prices at different places and asked him to "memorise his lines at home" before making allegations.

To Gandhi's charge that the Modi government had destroyed economy, he said India was counted among fragile five when the Congress was in power but is now seen as a "growth engine" of the world economy and is among the "fabulous few".
