Rahul's challenge to BJP: Get Narendra Modi on stage with me for 5 minutes
New Delhi, Feb 7 (IBNS): Congress president Rahul Gandhi today challenged the BJP to get Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the same stage as him for five minutes to talk about the economy, national security and the Rafale deal.
Speaking to Congress workers at an event in the national capital, he said: "Come for five minutes and everything will become crystal clear."
"You have a 56-inch chest, but you cannot talk to the media?" Rahul questioned the Prime Minister, who has not held a single news conference since taking charge four-and-a-half years ago.
"I want to assure you that in 2019, the Congress party will win the elections." he said. "Not just the Congress, the entire Opposition from across the country will together defeat the BJP, RSS and Narendra Modi."
Rahul also accused the BJP of thinking they are bigger than the country.
"The institutions of the country do not belong to a party but the country," said Rahul and added that the BJP-RSS combine was trying to take over all the institutions of the country.
Rahul said in the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, which the BJP ruled before the Congress ousted it in the recent Assembly elections, the RSS had planted its people in various official positions.
"We will identify and remove the RSS people from the institutions in these states," he said.
