PM Modi's dig at Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh in Rajasthan'Chunav nahi jeet sakte'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, without naming Sonia Gandhi, slammed the former Congress president for choosing the Rajya Sabha route to reach Parliament. Addressing a public meeting in Rajasthan's Jalore, PM Modi said Congress first sent a leader from South (KC Venugopal) to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan; then Rajasthan helped former prime minister Manmohan Singh. "Manmohan Singh was ill for a long time. But was he ever seen here in Rajasthan? Now Rajasthan has again come to Congress's help. Another Congress leader (Sonia Gandhi) has been elected from Rajasthan to the Rajya Sabha.



"Jo log chunav nahi lad sakte, jeet sakte (those who can't contest and win an election) fled the ground and took the Rajya Sabha route," Modi said.

"Congress was in power for 60 years; once they used to win 400 seats, but today they can't even find candidates for 300 seats. They are paying the price of their wrongdoing. Now they have made an opportunistic alliance in the name of the INDIA bloc which got its wings clipped before it could take flight. The so-called allies are contesting against each other in the states and at least in 25% of seats," Modi said.
