Will criticise PM Modi, but won't disrespect him: Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat

November 12, 2017 13:03

The Congress will criticise Prime Minister Narendra Modi but it will not "disrespect" him, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in an election speech in Gujarat on Sunday.

"Whatever we do, spot Modi's faults or disturb BJP, we won't disrespect the prime minister's position. When Modi ji was in opposition he used to speak with disrespect about the PM. That is the difference between us and them, no matter what Modi says about us we'll not go beyond certain point as he is PM," Gandhi said.

The Congress vice president was referring to the BJP's attacks on Manmohan Singh's tenure as prime minister of the UPA government.

Gandhi, who is touring north Gujarat, alleged that the BJP's development plan in the state has floundered. "We speak the truth aur ye sach hai ke Gujarat mein vikas pagal hogaya hai," he said (The Congress speaks the truth and the truth is that development has gone mad in Gujarat.)

Gujarat votes for assembly elections on December 9 and December 14.
