Addressing an audience in San Francisco, Rahul Gandhi said PM Modi "would start explaining to God how the universe works" as "some people believe they know everything".
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP as he addressed the Indian diaspora in the US, where he is on a 10-day tour.
Addressing an audience in San Francisco, Rahul Gandhi said PM Modi "would start explaining to God how the universe works" as "some people believe they know everything". In a sharp rebuttal, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said the Congress leader "couldn't digest" the praise and appreciation for PM Modi during his recent foreign visits.
In his first speech on a three-city visit, Rahul Gandhi said he launched the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' because all instruments of doing politics (connecting with people) were "being controlled".
"Some months ago, we started a walk from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. While walking we realised that normal instruments for doing politics (connecting with people) were not working anymore. They were controlled by the BJP and RSS. People are threatened and agencies are used against them. In some way, it had become quite difficult to act politically. That is why we decided to walk from the southernmost tip of India to Srinagar," the Congress leader said at an event titled 'Mohabbat ki Dukaan' on Wednesday.
