The BJP on Monday played on the words "Pidi" and "peedi" while dismissing the process for generational change in the Congress leadership as "Pidikaran", a reference to Rahul Gandhi's dog.

Neither the old "peedi" nor the new "peedi" matter in the opposition party, BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao said, using the Hindi word for ‘generation’ to take a swipe at the process to elevate Rahul Gandhi from vice president to president of the Congress.

In no organisation is a member promoted for repeatedly failing to perform, he said after the Gandhi scion filed his nomination papers to succeed his mother Sonia Gandhi as Congress president.
