Congress leader Rahul Gandhi shared a video clip on his X handle yesterday (24 April) evening where he can be seen targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a derogatory way.
Claiming that Modi is frightened over potential electoral loss, Gandhi said, "Electoral bonds fraud will trouble him after elections. The people have understood, they have stood to protect the Constitution."
"When I talked about X-ray (caste and wealth census), Narendra Modi kaanpne lag gaya (started shivering). Uski aadat hai, jaise hi usko darr lagta hai, jhooth bolna shuru kar deta hai," Gandhi said.
Alleging that Modi is lying out of fear and diverting attention by talking about Pakistan and China, Gandhi said, "He will speak lies one after another but would not succeed this time."
The Congress leader alleged that the BJP wants to abolish the Constitution so that people don't understand their "true power." Even after facing criticism over Shakti remarks, he said, "No Shakti can change the Constitution."
