BJP reacts to Rahul's 'PM is a specimen' remark

May 31, 2023 12:56

Union Minister Anurag Thakur reacts to Rahul Gandhi's comments that PM Modi thinks he knows more than God. Thakur accused the Congress leader of insulting India during his visits abroad.

"During his foreign visits, Rahul Gandhi insults India. PM Modi met almost 24 PMs and Presidents of the world and held over 50 meetings during his foreign visit recently. When the Australian PM said that 'PM Modi is the Boss', Rahul Gandhi could not digest this," Thakur said.

Speaking at the 'Mohabbat Ki Dukaan' event organised by Indian Overseas Congress USA in Santa Clara in the US state of California on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi said, "There are people in India who think they know more than God and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "one such specimen"."

He added, "These people are "absolutely convinced" that they know everything and can explain history to historians, science to scientists and warfare to the army.

"The world is too big and complicated for any person to know everything. That is the disease.

"There is a group of people in India who are absolutely convinced they know everything. They think they know even more than God.

"They can sit with God and explain to him what's going on. And of course, our prime minister is one such specimen. If you sat Modiji with God, he will explain to God how the universe works and God will get confused about what have I created," he said, evoking peals of laughter from hundreds of his Indian American supporters.

"They think they can explain history to historians, science to scientists and warfare to the army. But at the core of it is mediocrity. They're not ready to listen!" he said.
