Rahul Gandhi says PM Modi twists Bhagvad Gita's saying to suit his interests

NEW DELHI: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi delivered a stinging rebuke to Narendra Modi about his performance, saying today that the PM twists a saying from the Bhagvad Gita to suit his needs.

"It says in the Gita, 'Do your work, don't worry about the fruits of your labout'. Modiji's interpretation is 'Eat up the fruits of others' labour, don't worry about doing any work'", said Rahul at an election rally in poll-bound Himachal Pradesh.



PM Modi and Rahul have been going at each other in their election rallies in Himachal and Gujarat, both of which soon go to the polls.

The Congress vice president recently called the Goods and Services Tax (GST) 'Gabbar Singh Tax'. He called GST and demonetisation the two torpedoes to India's growth.



Manwhile, on Sunday, the PM said that the elections in Himachal Pradesh have become "one-sided" as the Congress has "run away from the battlefield."

"The elections in Himachal Pradesh have become one-sided. Congress has run away from the battlefield," said PM Modi at a rally in Una.

In turn, Rahul on Sunday asked the Modi government to "vacate its seat" if it finds itself unable to counter price rise and unemployment.

"महंगी गैस, महंगा राशन, बंद करो खोखला भाषण, दाम बांधो, काम दो, वर्ना खाली करो सिंहासन (Expensive gas, expensive rations, stop your hollow speeches. Control prices, give employment, or vacate the seat)," Rahul tweeted with a link to an article about the recent hike in LPG prices.
