Reacting to Congress vice-President's 'Modi-made disaster' remark, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said on Sunday that Rahul Gandhi is yet to make 'earthquake' like revelations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"I expected Rahul Gandhi to explode his earthquake statement in Belgaum, but I did not see any of it. Some of the Congress spokesperson were claiming on Friday that Rahul Gandhi will speak about it. What happened where is he going to explode that bomb?" BJP leader S. Prakash told ANI.

He said that making hollow and sensational claims is a very but it is difficult to prove them as is the case with Gandhi.

"A person of his calibre should weigh every word before commenting or claiming something against the Prime Minister. Today, his reputation has been completely tarnished and his image is dented. So, he should bother about the disaster he has created for himself," added Prakash.

Yesterday at a rally in Belgaum, Karnataka, Gandhi dubbing demonetisation as a "Modi-made disaster and alleged that Prime Minister Modi would write off Rs. eight lakh crore loans of the 50 rich families who funded his election campaign from the money people have deposited in banks after the note ban.
