I thought Narnedra Modi has some guts, now don't feel so : Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi, Aug 13 (IBNS) A day after facing virulent attack from External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in Lok Sabha, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday trained his gun at Prime Minister Narendra Modi taunting him as one who has no guts to give statement on the Lalit Modi controversy.
He also accused the the government of defending the black money nexus of Lalit Modi, former commissioner of Indian Premier League.
Targeting the Prime Minister, Rahul Gandhi said :"Maine inse chunaav haara, par lagaa bande mein dum hai…lekin ab lagta hai bande mein damm nahi hai ( I lost election to him, but I thought this guy has guts. Now I feel he doesn't have it)."
Referring the IPL scam involving Lalit Modi, the Congress leader said, "In IPL, there are two networks. One is what the youth sees on field, and the other is the Lalit Modi’s network of black money."
He said Lalit Modi was "a link between black money and the political system" and the "Congress will compel the Prime Minister to bring Lalit Modi back".
"I am here to defend this country from RSS. I am here to defend this country from Narendra Modi," he said.
Referring to Sushma Swaraj raking up the Bofors scandal issue in Lok Sabha on Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi said the country's judicial system has termed the whole issue a campaign against the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, his father.
