Looking to share the honours for the stellar performance of BrahMos missile during Operation Sindoor, the Congress on Tuesday sought to emphasise the role played by the party in the development of the formidable weapon as part of the four-decade-old missile programme.
Former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh took to social media to recall the history of BrahMos missiles and targeted the government for its alleged tendency to corner all the credit for the endeavours in the past.
"It is also yet another remarkable proof of continuity in governance which simply cannot be denied or erased - despite it being the regular habit of today's ruling establishment in New Delhi," wrote Ramesh.
