Rahul Gandhi accuses Modi of launching personal attacks at him
I asked him four questions but he did not answer, says Rahul Gandhi
Guwahati: Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi here on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of a personal attack in the Lok Sabha while asserting that people of Assam would respond to it in the ensuing assembly polls in Assam like in Bihar. In an obvious reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s jibe in the parliament in which he said some people grow in age but do not mature, Mr Gandhi told an election rally in Silchar, “Launch personal attacks at me as much you want and enjoy it but do answer my four questions.”
In the same breath, Mr Gandhi referred to his questions about employment generated by ‘Make in India’ and the scheme brought by the government to unearth black money, which he called “fair and lovely”, among others. Mr Gandhi said, “In his over one hour and 15 minute speech in parliament, he launched personal attacks at me. He narrated me quotes of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi. But did not answer a single question I had asked him. I respect him. He is the Prime Minister. I asked him four questions but he did not answer.”
