New Delhi: National Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday launched a mocking attack against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking his knowledge about Hinduism. He claimed that the Prime Minister does not even understand the “foundation of Hinduism.”  He asserted while campaigning in Rajasthan today. Rahul Gandhi also asked, “What kind of a Hindu is PM Modi?”

He was addressing a public gathering in poll-bound Rajasthan and said, “What is the essence of Hinduism? What does the Gita say? That knowledge is with everybody, knowledge is all around you. Every living being has knowledge. Our PM says he is a Hindu but he doesn't understand foundation of Hinduism. What kind of a Hindu is he?”

 The Congress chief also criticized PM Modi for turning armed asset into a "political asset."

He was speaking in Udaipur. Rahul Gandhi claimed that the Army had conducted three surgical strikes during the Manmohan Singh government, just like 2016 strike; but, the government did not open the news in public as the Army wanted it to remain a “secret.”

 He stated, “Do you know that like Mr Narendra Modi's surgical strike, Manmohan Singh ji did that 3 times? When Army came to Mr Manmohan Singh and said we need to retaliate against Pakistan for what they've done, they also said we wanted to be secret, for our own purposes.” 

Calling PM Modi 'Duryodhan', Rahul Gandhi  drew Mahabharata analogy to liken prime minister with antagonist character.

“Mr Narendra Modi actually reached into Army's domain & shaped their surgical strike, he turned their surgical strike into a political asset when it actually was a military decision,” the Congress President stated.

It is noted that Rahul Gandhi is likely to address public meetings in Bhilwara, Chittorgarh and Hanumangarh later on Saturday. Worth mention here Rajasthan will go to polls on December 7.
