PM 'maliciously twists' Rahul Gandhi's words: Congress on 'Maharaja' remark
India TodayPrime Minister Narendra Modi 'maliciously twists' every statement made by party leader Rahul Gandhi to inflame communal prejudices and passions," Congress said on Sunday, responding to PM Modi’s 'insulted maharajas but silent on atrocities of sultans' attack on the Wayanad MP. Earlier today, at an election rally in Karnataka, PM Modi accused Rahul Gandhi of insulting Rajas and Maharajas in India but remaining silent on the atrocities committed by Sultans, Nawabs, Nizams, and Badshahs. Responding to PM Modi’s comments, Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh, said the Prime Minister’s campaign speeches are “shameful” and he has “gone beyond being pathetic”. Attacking Rahul Gandhi over the statement, PM Modi said, "The statements by Congress's shehzada were intentional, aimed at vote bank politics and appeasement.Shehzade spoke ill about rajas, maharajas but shahzade's mouth was locked regarding the 'atyachar' that the nawabs, nizams, sultans and badshahs committed in India's history.
