New Delhi : Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter, questioning his policies and his pursuit of "short-term political gain" that he said "created space for terrorists" and cost India strategically.

In a series of tweets, Gandhi imitated the Prime Minister's style of describing his achievements in mathematical equations and said the growing terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir was the fallout of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) aligning with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to form government in the state.

"Short-term political gain for Modi from the PDP alliance has cost India massively. Modi's personal gain = India's strategic loss + sacrifice of innocent Indian blood." With the hashtag AmarnathTerror Attack, the Congress leader lashed out at the Prime Minister over the increasing number of terror incidents in Kashmir.

"Modi's policies have created the space for terrorists in Kashmir. Grave strategic blow for India," Gandhi said. Gandhi's latest salvo against the Prime Minister came two days after seven pilgrims were killed when militants opened fire on a bus carrying Amarnath Yatra pilgrims in Anantnag district.

The Congress attacked the NDA government over its silence on the "grave security lapse" in the death of seven Amarnath Yatra pilgrims .

"Nearly 36 hours have passed but neither Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh have come forward to either admit the grave security failure or to assure the nation on decisive action," Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala told reporters here at a press conference.

Lashing out at Modi, Surjewala said, "We have not even heard a single syllable on the momentous failure on the part of the Prime Minister."

"After every terrorist attack, be it the Uri or the Pathankot Air force camp similar platitudes are offered by government with Prime Minister refusing to come forward," he alleged.Surjewala's remarks came in the wake of the terror attack on Amarnath pilgrims on Monday evening.
