Probe my nationality, jail me if guilty: Rahul Gandhi
Mr Gandhi charged that the PM was using “cronies” to “throw mud” at him
New Delhi: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to jail him. The combative Congress scion hit out at the BJP after senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy claimed Mr Gandhi held British citizenship.
Mr Gandhi charged that the PM was using “cronies” to “throw mud” at him, like the RSS and BJP had done against his parents and grandmother Indira Gandhi in the past. “You talk of a 56-inch chest. Probe me, then put me behind bars. I want to tell Modiji that I do not have the slightest fear,” he said.
Taking a potshot at the PM, Mr Gandhi said Mr Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah toured a lot in Bihar for a clean sweep but saw a “clean sweep by us”.
