A political slugfest broke out between the Congress and the ruling BJP after Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's car was stoned and windows broken by black flag-waving crowds during his tour of a flood-hit town in Banaskantha district on Friday. Reacting to the violence, Rahul Gandhi took a pot shot at BJP and said, "Why would those who ordered the attack condemn it?" Congress national spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said: "Rahulji is an SPG protectee. An attack under Gujarat BJP government's watch reflects not only serious lapse but tacit complicity. Will the Prime Minister answer?"
