"Driving Car Looking In Rear-View Mirror": Rahul Gandhi's Swipe At PM In US

He said there is a fight going on back in India between two ideologies -- one represented by the Congress and the other by the BJP and the RSS.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP saying they never talk about the future, and always blame somebody else in the past for their failures. Mr Gandhi, who is on a visit to the US, was addressing the members of Indian diaspora in the Javits Centre. They observed 60-second silence in respect of those who died in the Odisha train accident.
The accident involving three trains has left over 270 dead and brought into focus the issue of railway safety. There has been demand for the resignation of Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw from some quarters.
"I remember a train accident when the Congress was in power. The Congress did not get up and say 'now it is the fault of the British that the train has crashed'. The Congress minister said 'it's my responsibility and I'm resigning'. So this is the problem we have back home, we make excuses and we are not accepting the reality we are faced with," Mr Gandhi said, without naming the Congress minister.
He said the BJP and the RSS are incapable of looking into the future.
