New Delhi: The Congress took a dig at the BJP saying that BJP MP Kirti Azad's suspension was an illustration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dictatorial style of functioning.

The suspension of Kirti Azad from the Bharatiya Janata Party is nothing but a manifestation of the corruptionphilia that grips the party, Congress leader Randip Surjewala said in a statement on Wednesday.

It is yet another statement on Modi's and BJP president Amit Shah's style of functioning that is nothing but 'my way or highway', Surjewala said.

He also said that BJP leaders facing allegations were sheltered by Modi's "immunity" and complainants against corruption were suspended.

"Is this what probity and accountability in public life all about?" added the Congress leader.
