| PM Modi launches Karnataka offensive, dares Rahul Gandhi to speak for 15 minutes without a paper | | | Agencies
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took several digs at Rahul Gandhi, calling him a "Naamdaar" and challenging him to speak for 15 minutes without any paper, and in any language. Although he did not directly refer to him by name, the implication was obvious. Addressing the first of his many rallies in poll-bound Karnataka, Modi also tore into the Congress party on several fronts.
Right from the outset the PM made several jibes at Rahul. “The Congress president is a Naamdaar, so how does he know about the efforts of Kaamdaars,” Modi said, bringing up the reference several times in his speech. In a sarcastic comment, he went on to add, “We are Kaamdaars. What is our level that we can sit with people like the Congress president, who look down on us?”
Then when referring to the BJP’s efforts at ensuring electricity reached all the villages in the country, Rahul was the target yet again. “Perhaps due to over excitement, the newly elected Congress president forgets decency,” he said. “He did not even bother to congratulate the hardworking 'mazdoors' due to whom I ndia's villages are getting electricity + ,” he went on to add.
Clearly in no mood to spare the Congress president, he next brought up Rahul by challenging him to a debate. Rahul had earlier said he wanted to speak in Parliament for 15 minutes + on several issues, and he was quite certain Modi would not be able to remain seated for long. |
