Nitin Gadkari is the only one in the BJP with some guts: Rahul Gandhi tweets attacking Modi subtly

New Delhi, Feb 4 (IBNS): Subtly trying to portray Nitin Gadkari as a 'rival' to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Monday complimented the Union Minister and former BJP president as the “only one in the BJP with some guts”.

"Gadkari Ji, compliments! You are the only one in the BJP with some guts. Please also comment on: 1. The #RafaleScam & Anil Ambani 2. Farmers’ Distress 3. Destruction of Institutions," Gandhi tweeted.

In his tweet, Gandhi also referred to a news article, which quoted Gadkari as telling ABVP members, “One who can not manage his home cannot manage the country.”

Critics of Modi took the comment of Gadkari as a jibe to Modi as the PM had left his family at a young age.

Gadkari was quoted by the media as saying in the event: "I said (to him) first take care of your home, because one who cannot manage his home cannot manage the country."

Gadkari had earlier served as the BJP president in his political career.

In reply to Rahul Gandhi's tweet, Gadkari said: "It is the success of Narendra Modi and our government that you need shoulders to attack us."
