Bhopal: Stating that Congress party and its leaders have no hatred, Congress president Rahul Gandhi asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to keep offering hate claiming he would continue to hug him in return. Amid assaults on him and his family from the PM, Gandhi switched to a different pitch saying Congress party or its leaders possess no hatred. “The hatred is filled in BJP, RSS and in the heart of PM Narendra Modi,” claimed the Congress national president who was addressing an election rally in Shujalpur of Madhya Pradesh.
“Our job is to fight this hatred,” added Rahul. He also addressed public rallies in Dhar and Khargone. Referring to PM Modi’s repeated assaults on Gandhi family, the visiting leader said Modiji talks of my father, grandmother and great grandfather with hatred and anguish but I offer him hugs.
The Congress president said he kept telling the Prime Minister for five years that he was a PM and had all the power of this country behind him so he should work with lover and not hatred. Before Goods and Services Tax was to be implemented, we had sent P Chidambaram to convey a message that he (Modi) was making a mistake as India was a vast country and an ill-planned policy would land you in trouble. But our leader was sternly told that a decision has been made and would be implemented by midnight, recounted Gandhi.
The Congress further said he (Modi) did not ask anyone about demonetisation. “You could have asked this from any small shopkeeper.”
