Union Minister and BJP candidate for the Begusarai Lok Sabha seat Giriraj Singh has criticized Rahul Gandhi's "PM has panicked" remark, stating that the Congress leader lacks understanding of his own statements.
Singh said, "It is the misfortune of the Congress that there are leaders like Rahul Gandhi in the Congress Party. Those who themselves do not understand what they are saying, then how will people understand them. Congress Party is, in a way, a leaderless party." Singh's comments come in response to Rahul Gandhi's assertion that the Prime Minister has "panicked" after seeing the Congress party's "revolutionary" manifesto. Coming down heavily on Rahul Gandhi over his comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the Congress leader is "mentally disturbed and he needs treatment". "Rahul Gandhi's mental stability is disturbed. These are not the values of India. He (PM Modi) is the world's most popular leader and dozens of countries honoured him with their biggest honours. Narendra Modi is not just India's but the world's hope. Using abusive terms for him only shows how nervous the Congress is. Congress is about to be extinct," Chouhan said. Directing an attack towards Congress party's indecisiveness of a candidate from Amethi, Chouhan said, "The fear of defeat is such that he (Rahul Gandhi) is running away from his seat. He has lost his mental stability due to nervousness and needs a medical treatment. Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had panicked after seeing the Congress' "revolutionary" manifesto. "So did you like the Congress manifesto? You must have seen that the Prime Minister has panicked. It is a revolutionary manifesto," Rahul Gandhi said while speaking at Social Justice conclave organised by the Congress in Delhi. His comment was in the backdrop of Prime Minister Modi's criticism that Congress manifesto smacks of appeasement and that if it came to power, it would redistribute people's wealth and also give reservations to Muslims from the quota for SC, ST, and OCB communities.
