Narendra Modi like mobile phone on speaker mode, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress President Rahul Gandhi today hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “PPP Congress” jibe, likening him to a mobile phone on “speaker and airplane” mode and not the “work” mode.

On the ninth leg of his election tour of Karnataka, Rahul said Modi made personal attacks against him since he did not have much to speak about on other issues.

“There are three modes in a cell phone….the first is the work mode….the other two are speaker mode and airplane mode. Modi only uses speaker and airplane mode and not the work mode,” he told reporters in an impromptu interaction.

He was responding to a question about Modi’s Tuesday remark at an election rally in Gadag where he said the Congress will become “Punjab, Puducherry, Parivar” Congress after its defeat in the Karnataka Assembly polls.

“You might have seen and heard, in my speeches I speak about Narendra Modi, I question him on issues….but I speak about him with respect. Narendra Modi is an elderly man, he is aged, going to be 70. I respect those who are elder to me,” Gandhi told election rallies in Hosakote and Maluru.

Modi, he said, cannot speak on corruption as the party’s chief ministerial candidate Yeddyurappa faced graft allegations. “He cannot speak about corruption as he has Yeddyurappa standing next to him. He cannot speak about farmers as he has not given them MSP, bonus, and not waived farm loan.”

“He cannot speak about Dalits as Rohit Vemula (a dalit student of Hyderabad who committed suicide) was killed by his people, Dalit in Unnao was killed by his people. What is left? Speak ill about Rahul Gandhi, Siddaramaiah, and (Mallikarjun) Kharge. He does it,” the Congress president added.
