The BJP on Tuesday described Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s remark that he will not allow Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sleep until farm loans are waived as a new low in the country’s public discourse. “Friends, I am given to understand that Rahul Gandhi today said that he will not allow Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sleep. This is a new low in the public discourse of the country,” Mr. Prasad told reporters. Hitting out at Mr. Gandhi, Mr. Prasad said he should come to Parliament and debate the Rafale issue in Parliament. Referring to Mr. Gandhi addressing the issue of farmer distress and saying that the Congress and other opposition parties will ensure that all farm loans are waived, Mr. Prasad declared it was just drama.
