Mr Sharma, who was here on a flying visit to assess party's ongoing election campaign in South Gujarat for the LS polls, slammed BJP for diverting common man on baseless issues.
He claimed the Congress-led UPA had provided maximum benefit to the common man, adding that India had seen growth in every sector under its regime. And this would lead UPA to regain power at the Center, he added.
Talking to mediapersons, the Minister said, ''BJP and NDA are frightened to such an extent that they are creating issues, which have nothing to do with the common man.'' He further said, ''Actually, NDA is not in a situation to form government and it's the frustration, which is coming out in this form.'' ''Interestingly, in Gujarat, where Modi is a star campaigner, top BJP leaders are visiting state to attend election rallies. The level to which they are attacking Congress is a shameful act,'' he added.
The Minister said he supported the Supreme Court's move to direct SIT to inquire Narendra Modi and other leaders over 2002 riots.
Mr Sharma denied any chances of replacing Dr Singh from Prime Ministerial post after elections and said since the Congress was the largest party in the UPA, it was the right of the party to have its candidate as Prime Minister if it won the election.
He denied that post-poll scenario would change Congress' stand over the issue.
