Rahul Gandhi on his Chowkidar Chor Hai attribution to Supreme Court

During a media interaction in Amethi, the Congress president had claimed that the apex court’s order has made it "clear" that 'Chowkidar Chor Hai' (Prime Minister is thief) in its Rafale order.

Challenging this statement, Meenakshi Lekhi filed a plea before the apex court and sought criminal contempt against Gandhi for his alleged derogatory remarks against Modi.  

Modi-BJP decimated, says confident Gandhi

As the country is heading towards the last few phases of General Elections, Gandhi posed confident in winning the electoral battle, claiming it is the Congress which has "decimated the BJP".

Speaking about BJP's poll campaign, Gandhi said: "BJP has no strategic campaign. It is a panicky campaign, The Prime Minister is scared. In their campaigns, the BJP started off with national security and halfway they shifted to development."

Regarding Congress' post-poll tie-ups with other parties to form the government, the leader of the largest opposition party told media, "Our main aim is to defeat BJP and Modi. We will work towards it fully now. Will think about alliances after results come out. These seem distractions now."

He also urged the Prime Minister to have a debate with him on jobs and corruption, alleging that the employment issue is absent from Modi's campaign this time.
