Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been criticised for calling former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi corrupt, on Wednesday launched a scathing counterstrike at Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and his party with a laundry list of abuses hurled at him, before and after becoming the prime minister. PM Modi said he had decided to speak about the various descriptors that had been used for him to unmask the veil of love that was being spoken about by Congress leaders. “This is the truth of Congress’s dictionary of love,” PM Modi said, a clear rebuttal to Rahul Gandhi who frequently accuses PM Modi of spreading hatred and presents himself who has only love in his heart. A growing list of opposition leaders have criticised the prime minister for calling Rajiv Gandhi who died 28 years ago ‘corrupt No 1’.
