Hyderabad: BJP leader N.V.S.S. Prabhakar on Sunday compared Congress president Rahul Gandhi to Pakistan leaders, saying that he was questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi the way leaders from Pakistan were questioning him.
Mr Prabhakar said the response to Mr Gandhi’s meeting at Shamshabad was poor. “The Congress says there is a josh in the party after the meeting of Rahul Gandhi. Though the leaders asked the crowd to cheer for Rahul, the people did not. That shows the josh in the Telangana Congress... “Rahul’s speech shows that he has lost his mind and he is in a helpless situation. Rahul is speaking the same words on the Pulwama attack as the leaders in Lahore are speaking. Rahul is questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the same way that the Pakistan leaders questioned.”
Mr Prabhakar said the Congress had lost many seats, but the party was still claiming that Mr Gandhi is the future Prime Minister. “The people want Modi once again,” he said.
The former MLA said people like Nirav Modi and Vijaya Mallya had taken massive loans during the UPA-2 regime which was exposed by the Modi government and taking action on them.
“Two Congress MLAs have shifted to the TRS and one more MLA has announced he will defect and many more are ready to go. Their own MLAs do not trust the Congress, how can these leaders rule the country,” Mr Prabhakar Rao said.
He said the statements of Chief Ministers K. Chandrasekhar Rao and N. Chandrababu Naidu that they would rule from Delhi were “silly.”
