Face-off: PM Modi talks of 'political damaads', Rahul takes dig at '56-inch chest'


Updated

Jammu, Jul 17 (TNN): Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi were engaged in yet another face-off on Friday.

During a speech at the centenary celebrations of former J&K minister Girdhari Lal Dogra in Jammu, Prime Minster Narendra Modi said "we all know how politcal damaads can be' in what is seen as a reference to Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.

PM Modi heaped praise on Girdhari Lal Dogra and said that he was a good judge of people.

"The example of his good judgment can be seen in the son-in-law he chose," PM Modi said amid applause and laughter referring to finance minister Arun Jaitley.

The Prime Minster then went on to take a dig as to how political damaads can become a trouble.

Moments later, in Jaipur adressing party workers, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi once again targeted PM Modi reminding him of his pre-poll promise of 'Na khaoonga, na khane doonga'.

Rahul also took a dig at his 56-inch chest remark as he slammed the BJP-led Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh government.

"Modiji ka 56-inch ka chhati 5.6 inch ka ho jayega," Rahul said.

Rahul Gandhi, who is on a tour of Rajasthan, said that the remote control of Vasundhara Raje government was in London.

He once again questioned PM's silence on Lalit Modi controversy and the Vyapam scam.

Rahul's attack evoked a quick response from the BJP.

BJP leader Sambit Patra said, "People who have a vision of 5.6 mm are obviously not able to look beyond that."

    Wow!! after coming to India rarely our PM is still in election mode. he was in Kashmir as if he was invited there to hoist Pakistani flags. Right beside him in Kashmir, Paki flags were hoisted and he is not bothered about it but about daamaad. What a PM we have got who cant even come out of politics even for the sake of nation?? His bhakths as usual here bark about his chest. The BJP spokesman is as dumb as all these bhakhts that he do not know the difference between 5.6 inches and 5.6mm. Hello Bhakhths, please go and teach him maths or some common sense if you guys have any.

    56 inch chest includes his bullet-proof vest also.
    If this bullet proof vest is removed his chest is just 5.6 inches only.

    Wow.... Finally our NRI PM is back to India. Thank you PM you remembered about India. Forget about damaads, this and that...... open your mouth on the promises you made n what you have achieved. I xan see only garbage collection and toilets and we dont need PM to do this. I wonder India needs 56inch chest to collect garbage and build toilet??? You cant run away from issues and scams at hand by criticising damadji n rahul. It shows how good leaderyou are and how good you are at governing n delivering on promises. You still have time to fold your hand Mr PM Iinfront of Indians and ask for forgiveness if you really have 56inch chest which you were beating during election rally and say sorry for your failuers over a year n odd. That might give you some breathing tym or very soon every indian n specially your own partymen starts asking for answers from you coz your partymen have nothing to go on n say other than yhe garbage you collected as PM and the toilets you constructed as PM of this great nation. Wakeup mr soot boot PM.

    We are yet to see the PM deliver the promises to the people. Now we hear from Mr Amit Shah that he needs 25 years to deliver the promises made. Instead of speaking of the size of each other's chest, and damaads, we are yet to see "Mysore turn to Paris" which was promised during elections by the PM.
