BJP leader Narendra Modi Sunday attacked Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and questioned his ability to take care of the nation when he couldn't look after Amethi -- his Lok Sabha constituency.

"His mother (Sonia Gandhi) is urging the people of Amethi to look after her son whereas she wants her son to take care of the nation (as prime minister)," Modi said at a rally here.

"I want to ask them a question: How will he (Gandhi) look after the nation when he couldn't manage to do so in Amethi," added Modi.

"Rahulji, for how long will you mislead the nation," Modi said.

Modi added that the "mother-son" duo had ruined the country, referring to Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
