Jaipur: Congress leaders were indulging in antics like threatening to chop Narendra Modi and tearing his posters as they were flustered by his popularity, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said on Saturday.

Attacking Congress over the hate speech by its Saharanpur candidate threatening to chop Narendra Modi into pieces, Raje said that elections would make it clear that who will survive or who will be chopped off.

"Saharanpur me Congress Pratyashi ne ye keh diya ki Modi ke tukde tukde kar denge, ab tukde kiske honge ye to chunav ke bad dekhne ko milega (Congress candidate from Saharanpur said that Modi will be chopped to pieces. Election would make it clear that who is cut to size or who survives the election), " she told the gathering.

Saharanpur candidate of Congress, Imran Masood, had made the controversial statement, which led to his arrest in Uttar Pradesh.
