'Scared of Trump, remote-controlled by Adani, Ambani': Rahul Gandhi attacks PM Modi amid Bihar polls

Begusarai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday launched a fierce attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at an election rally in Begusarai district, Bihar. Gandhi alleged, "Having a huge chest does not make you strong. Just look at Mahatma Gandhi, who had a frail build but took on the British, who were the superpowers of the time." He added, "On the other hand, we have Narendra Modi with his boast of a 56-inch chest, who got a panic attack when Trump called him during Operation Sindoor, and the military conflict with Pakistan ended in two days." Gandhi accused Modi of being not only "scared" of US President Donald Trump but also "remote-controlled by Ambani and Adani."

He criticised the Modi government’s major decisions like GST and demonetisation, claiming they were "aimed at destroying small businesses and benefiting the big ones." Gandhi said, "Our approach is different. We want to promote the small businesses. We want to replace made in China labels on your phones and T-shirts with made in Bihar."

Referring to Modi's tactics to win votes, Gandhi remarked, "Tell him to do yoga, he will do a few asanas." He assured voters that if the INDIA bloc comes to power in Bihar, it will form "a government for every section, not for any particular caste."

Gandhi also alleged that the Prime Minister was distracting youths by asking them to watch reels to divert their attention from real issues such as unemployment.
