Narendra Modi in firing line of Sonia, Rahul, Priyanka
Kanyakumari/Kishanganj/Rae Bareli: Congress president Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul and daughter Priyanka on Wednesday singularly targeted Narendra Modi, saying he believes in keeping all powers to himself and claims that he alone can make the country a paradise.
"One individual goes across the country and says that he would make India a paradise. You should reject the ambition of that individual," Sonia said in an apparent reference to Modi while addressing a rally in Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu.
She accused Modi of representing an ideology, which is a "dangerous combination of religious fanaticism, power and money" and said it should be rejected.
The intention of BJP and Modi is to divide the country on communal line and communal harmony is under threat under them, she said, adding "The country cannot progress in such a situation."
In Kishanganj in Bihar, Rahul spoke on similar lines.
"He (Modi) claims to know everything. According to him nobody else contributed in the development of Gujarat except him and now he will say the same about the entire country," he said ridiculing the Gujarat Chief Minister.
"Hindustan ko ullu banana bandh karo," (stop fooling the people of the country)," Rahul said addressing a rally in the minority-dominated constituency.
Modi also came in for severe attack from Priyanka in Rae Bareli where she kicked off the campaign for her mother who is fighting the Lok Sabha election from here.
