Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi [Images] on Tuesday asked the Bharatiya Janata Party to introspect on the links between the Malegaon blast suspects and its affiliates and said the government was doing a good job in containing terrorism.

"BJP should have a look into the links which the Malegaon accused have with the party," Gandhi said at a press conference in Amritsar [Images] to announce the schedule of the organisational elections to the Indian Youth Congress in Punjab.

Asked about the remarks of BJP President Rajnath Singh that he was a bachcha (child) in politics, Gandhi candidly admitted that he indeed was a bachcha.

"As compared to Rajnath Singh and others, I admit that I am a complete bachcha. But fortunately or unfortunately, 70 per cent of the country is bachcha," he said in an apparent reference to the country's youth.

"I do not have even half the experience which he (Rajnath) has," the young MP said.

The word bachcha could be defined as the way you look at things, Gandhi said.

"He (Rajnath) would not have the desired impact as the country looks at the things in a different manner. It is the way of looking at things differently," the Amethi MP said.

Gandhi also had a piece of advice for the BJP President.

"He (Rajnath) should perhaps look at this bachcha part of India," the Congress leader said.

The AICC in-charge of the IYC and the NSUI also attacked Raj Thackeray [Images] and his Maharashtra Navnirman Sena for the kind of politics they are doing in Maharashtra.
