Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the suspension of BJP MP Kirti Azad from the party over DDCA corruption charges.
"Modi-ji said na khaunga na khaane dunga (neither will I indulge in corruption, nor allow anyone else to indulge in it). Now that his MP has pointed out corruption (in the cricket body), he has been suspended," Rahul Gandhi said.
"Ab Modi-ji jawaab dein... (Let Modi reply to the issue now)," he said.
