'Dismantled idea of Narendra Modi': Rahul Gandhi goes after PM, press and EC in combative New Delhi press conference
FirstpostCongress president Rahul Gandhi, at a combative press conference in New Delhi on Friday, slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the press and the Election Commission. Rahul, at the press conference just before the end of campaigning for the 2019 Lok Sabha election, claimed the idea of Modi had been dismantled, alleged that the poll schedule was tailor made for Modi’s campaign and chided the press for ‘going soft’ on Modi even as they posed tough questions to him on the Congress’ Nyuntam Aay Yojana scheme. BJP chief Amit Shah and Modi held a press conference at the party headquarters at the same time as Rahul addressed the media at the Congress head office. “I have a complaint for the press: You ask me tough questions on NYAY such as ‘where will the money come from?’ But Modi gets easy questions on mangoes and kurtas,” Rahul added.
